Abstract

In this work we propose an online verification system for both signature and isolated cursive words. The proposed system is designed to be used in a mobile device with limited computational capability. In the proposed scenario it is assumed that the user will use either his fingertip or a passive pen, therefore no azimuth or inclination information is available. Isolated words have certain desirable traits that can be more useful on a mobile device. Different isolated words can be used to verify the user in different applications, combining a knowledge-based security systems (i.e. passwords) with a behavioral biometric verification system. The proposed technique can achieve 4:39% of equal error rate for signatures and 6:5% for isolated words.
