On-line signature verification using Tablet PC

On-line signature verification for Tablet PC devices is studied. The on-line signature verification algorithm presented by the authors at the First International Signature Verification Competition (SVC 2004) is adapted to work in Tablet PC environments. An example prototype of securing access and securing document application using this Tablet PC system is also reported. Two different commercial Tablet PCs are evaluated, including information of interest for signature verification systems such as sampling and pressure statistics. Authentication performance experiments are reported considering both random and skilled forgeries by using a new database with over 3000 signatures.
