Abstract
Handwritten signature is one of the most popular ways to verify one’s identity. In Section 10.1, we introduce some basic principles and methods of signature verification systems. Two kinds of signature systems, off-line and on-line, are discussed in Section 10.2 and 10.3, respectively. An on-line signature verification system based on Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) is described in Section 10.4. Section 10.5 will present an on-line signature verification application in the Internet/Intranet.
