Signature verification holds a significant place in today's world as most of the bank transactions, stock trading etc. are validated via signatures. Signatures are considered as one of the most effective biometric identity but unfortunately signature forgery attempts are quite rampant. To prevent this, a robust signature verification mechanism is essential. In this paper, a new method has been proposed which uses Local Binary Pattern and geometrical features. A new geometric property has been devised i.e. Octave Pattern. Performance is analyzed by comparing random, semi-skilled and skilled forgeries with the genuine signature.
