Feature Representation for Online Signature Verification
Biometrics systems have been used in a wide range of applications and have
improved people authentication. Signature verification is one of the most
common biometric methods with techniques that employ various specifications of
a signature. Recently, deep learning has achieved great success in many fields,
such as image, sounds and text processing. In this paper, deep learning method
has been used for feature extraction and feature selection.Comment: 10 pages, 10 figures, Submitted to IEEE Transactions on Information

New Access Control Technologies: Biometric Identification
Biometrics are computerized methods of recognizing people based on physical or behavioral characteristics. The main biometric technologies include face recognition, fingerprint, hand geometry, iris, palm prints, signature and voice. Biometric technologies can work in two modes – authentication (one-to-one matching) and identification (one-to-many) matching. However, only three biometrics are capable of the latter – face, finger and iris
Introduction to Presentation Attacks in Signature Biometrics and Recent Advances
Applications based on biometric authentication have received a lot of
interest in the last years due to the breathtaking results obtained using
personal traits such as face or fingerprint. However, it is important not to
forget that these biometric systems have to withstand different types of
possible attacks. This chapter carries out an analysis of different
Presentation Attack (PA) scenarios for on-line handwritten signature
verification. The main contributions of this chapter are: i) an updated
overview of representative methods for Presentation Attack Detection (PAD) in
signature biometrics; ii) a description of the different levels of PAs existing
in on-line signature verification regarding the amount of information available
to the impostor, as well as the training, effort, and ability to perform the
forgeries; and iii) an evaluation of the system performance in signature
biometrics under different scenarios considering recent publicly available
signature databases, DeepSignDB and SVC2021_EvalDB. This work is in line with
recent efforts in the Common Criteria standardization community towards
security evaluation of biometric systems.Comment: Chapter of the Handbook of Biometric Anti-Spoofing (Third Edition
Biometric cryptosystem using online signatures
Biometric cryptosystems combine cryptography and biometrics to benefit from the strengths of both fields. In such systems, while cryptography provides high and adjustable security levels, biometrics brings in non-repudiation and eliminates the need to remember passwords or to carry tokens etc. In this work we present a biometric cryptosystems which uses online signatures, based on the Fuzzy Vault scheme of Jules et al. The Fuzzy Vault scheme releases a previously stored key when the biometric data presented for verification matches the previously stored template hidden in a vault. The online signature of a person is a behavioral biometric which is widely accepted as the formal way of approving documents, bank transactions, etc. As such, biometric-based key release using online signatures may have many application areas. We extract minutiae points (trajectory crossings, endings and points of high curvature) from online signatures and use those during the locking & unlocking phases of the vault. We present our preliminary results and demonstrate that high security level (128 bit encryption key length) can be achieved using online signatures
