Dynamic Signatures Characteristics

In order to understand what is necessary to trust a signature it is important to keep in mind that forensic experts rely on the holistic analysis of signatures, i.e. they look at and take into account the paper features, type of stylus, the ink flow and “visible” pressure.

Most forensic experts exposed to the analysis of dynamic signatures tend to forget to apply the same principles.

The equivalent holistic approach for dynamic signatures must take into account which device was used for signature capture, the device features and maybe even the signing environment and the co-relations to the signing process.

Biometric Signature Data Interchange Standard

SOFTPRO E-Signing solutions are supporting the ISO/IEC 19794-7 storage format. This standard was co-defined by SOFTPRO's scientists who play an active role now for years in the ISO and participate in their meetings as well as workingin the national body of ISO DIN. Working with SOFPRO allows our partners and customers to tap on first hand expertise about Biometric Standardization.

The International Standardization Organization (ISO) is defining standard for Biometrics. The ISO/IEC standard (19794-7:2007), Information Technology – Biometric Data Interchange Formats – Part 7: Signature/Sign time series data specifies two data interchange formats for signature/sign behavioral data captured in the form of time series using devices such as digitizing tablets or advanced pen systems. One data interchange format is for general use and the other is a compact format for use and the other is a compact format for use with smart cards or tokens. ISO/IEC 19794-7 Standard
