The verification of handwritten signatures is one of the oldest and the most popular authentication methods all around the world. As technology improved, different ways of comparing and analyzing signatures become more and more sophisticated. Since the early seventies, people have been exploring how computers can fully take over the task of signature verification and tried different methods. However, none of them is satisfactory enough and time consuming too. Therefore, our proposed pixel based off- line signature verification system is one of the fastest and easiest ways to authenticate any handwritten signature we have ever found. For signature acquisition, we have used scanner. Then we have divided the signature image into 2D array and calculated the hexadecimal RGB value of each pixel. After that, we have calculated the total percentage of matching. If the percentage of matching is more than 90, the signature is considered as valid otherwise invalid. We have experimented on more than 35 signatures and the result of our experiment is quite impressive. We have made the whole system web based so that the signature can be verified from anywhere. The average execution time for signature verification is only 0.00003545 second only.
