Abstract

Signature is a commonly accepted biometric feature for individual identification. On-line signature has begun to prevail in the last decades for it exploits dynamic features which traditional off-line signature fails to preserve. This paper presents a review of researches on on-line signature verification during recent years and lists some of the works that provide promising results.
