Abstract:
Signature is a behavioral biometric, it is not based on the physical properties, such as fingerprint
or face, of the individual, but behavioral ones. The reality is that signatures can be easily forged,
resulting into costly outcomes, therefore signature verification system was needed to be
developed. Signature verification is the process used to recognize an individual’s handwritten
signature. It involves two separate but strongly related tasks: one of them is identification of the
signature owner, and the other is the decision about whether the signature is genuine or forged.
A Static signature verification system using android mobile phone was developed where a
signature is written offline such as bank cheque and the system reads the image scanned, and
then verifies it with the signatures in database of the customer, It’s mainly to be used in banking
applications, government documents, signing of treaties between countries and student mark
sheets. Such a system will remove the manual verification of signatures; two people verifying the
same signature will have different opinions and will derive different conclusions about the
authenticity of it. It is a more accurate method of verifying signatures of individuals.
