It may be easy to forge a signature, but it is nigh on impossible to sign a signature with the exact stroke order, pressure and speed as it’s rightful owner.  Based on this, an industry for signature biometrics is growing.

One benefit of signature biometrics lies in the low false acceptance rates associated with this biometric.  Similar to voice biometrics, signature biometrics is perceived as non-invasive.  We’re all used to signing on the dotted line, but to eliminate the risk of signature forging, this technology has emerged.

Uses include limiting the access to restricted documents, contracts and papers, delivery acknowledgement and banking/finance related applications.
