Online Signature-Based Biometric Recognition

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Book cover Biometric-Based Physical and Cybersecurity Systems

Abstract

This chapter covers the online signature-based biometric recognition system, which includes fingerprint scanning, facial geometry, footprint scanning, retina and iris patterns, DNA, and heartbeat scans. It covers the background knowledge of signature verification system along with its classification. A systematic comparison between online and offline signature verification system is also included. Basics of biometric recognition in terms of security, exploring definitions of the various parameters that can be used in the security perspective, are also covered (Obaidat and Boudriga, Security of e-Systems and Computer Networks. Cambridge University Press, 2007; Obaidat and Sadoun, IEEE Trans Syst Man Cybernetics Part B, 27(2):261–269, 1997). An in-depth discussion about the online signature-based authentication methods is also presented. Finally, some case studies have been discussed to demonstrate the concept.
