H. S. Prasantha · 2023
The signature of a person is one of the most common forms of biometrics that has applications in day-to-day life. A signature plays a vital role in indicating the identity of a person and providing any details about that person. Signature verification is a technique used to validate the identity of an individual. It is used in various industries, such as banks, intelligence agencies, and high-profile institutions. Despite being one of the earliest, most basic, and most popularly accepted methods for identification and verification, confirming the genuineness of a signature is particularly challenging. The signature doesn’t tend to be the same every time as there are numerous factors that are involved while signing, such as emotion and eye-to-hand coordination. Signature verification plays an important role in the banking sector, where the signature on the cheques has to be verified to complete the financial transaction. It is an important task, as people tend to forge signatures to initiate fake transactions and steal huge amounts of money.
