Signature verification is one of the important methodologies for personnel identification. Because of its wide applications to security practices quite a number of signature verification techniques associated with various features have been proposed. The features utilized in a signature verification system directly affect the performance of the system. In this paper, we review a variety of rece...

In this paper we will evaluate the use of SURF features in handwritten signature verification. For each known writer we will take a sample of three genuine signatures and extract their SURF descriptors. In this paper, off-line signature recognition & verification using neural network is proposed, where the signature is captured and presented to the user in an image format. Signatures are verifi...

The signature Recognition and verification system is used to recognize and verify individual’s handwritten signature. Now a day’s handwritten signature is one of the most widely accepted personal attributes for identity verification. Signature verification provides authorization in financial and business transaction. Signature verification finds its application in the field of net banking, pass...

Each user has its own unique signature that is mainly used for purposes such as personal identification and verification of certain documents or legal transactions. But for the same offline signature verification is essential. Currently we have signature verification is inefficient and time-consuming for a large number of documents. To overcome the drawbacks to Signature-based verification, we ...

In this paper a new patch-based digital signature (DS) is proposed. The proposed approach similar to steganography methods hides the secure message in a host image. However, it uses a patch-based key to encode/decode the data like cryptography approaches. Both the host image and key patches are randomly initialized. The proposed approach consists of encoding and decoding algorithms. The encodin...

This paper deals with an off-line Japanese signature verification using a pattern matching method. An annoying problem encountered in off-line signature verification using a pattern matching is that variation of signature stroke widths and a registered signature selected from a set of reference samples affect the verification performance. In this paper, we propose a modified pattern matching me...

In the era of growing technology, security is the major concern to avoid fakes and forgeries. There are various biometric technique which help in personal identification, among those verification systems, one system is Signature Verification System, Signature is a behavioral biometric.It is not based on figure print ,retina or any facial expression, according to the data available in the input,...

Signature plays its authorization role in almost every document. Proper care should be taken for the verification of the genuineness of the signature in legal documents. Signature verification scheme can be online or offline based on the acquisition type. A novel method for offline signature verification in bank cheques is proposed. It is found out that using fractal dimensions for verification...

Handwritten signature is a distinguishing biometric feature which is the most widely employed form of secure personal authentication. Signature verification is used in a large number of fields starting from online banking, passport verification systems to even authenticating candidates in public examinations from their signatures. Even today thousands of financial and business transactions are ...

Signature recognition is probably the oldest biometrical identification method with a high legal acceptance. Although automated signature verification has been studied for more than 30 years this field still lacks the necessary formalization to evaluate and compare different signature verification systems. Our research aims separating the steps of signature verification and dissecting the monol...
