Secure access system using signature verification over tablet PC
This work addresses secure authentication for users in applications where written signatures are legally accepted, but it appears incremental as it builds on existing signature verification methods.
The authors tackled the problem of secure access by developing a Web-based prototype for signature verification using low-cost portable devices, resulting in a versatile and scalable system that can be extended to various sensors and databases.
Low-cost portable devices capable of capturing signature signals are being increasingly used. Additionally, the social and legal acceptance of the written signature for authentication purposes is opening a range of new applications. We describe a highly versatile and scalable prototype for Web-based secure access using signature verification. The proposed architecture can be easily extended to work with different kinds of sensors and large-scale databases. Several remarks are also given on security and privacy of network-based signature verification.
