ADDING A NEW DIMENSION TO VALIDATION WITH DYNAMIC SIGNATURE VERIFICATION

A brief introduction to the biometric known as Dynamic Signature Verif ication is presented. Some of the issues surrounding its uptake are di scussed and an increased awareness of this new technology is advocated in the forensic science community. A novel dynamic signature acquisit ion tablet is described including the specification, design, and imple mentation processes. The provisional trial results of an artificial, n eural-network based verification algorithm indicate that an acceptable performance is realisable at low cost.
