HossenJ. 1220101015In conjunction with the recent and amazing development of the Internet, online signature verification is being considered with inventive significance. Not only is online signature verification the least controversial of current biometric methods on the market, it is also one of the most acceptable, intuitive, fast and cost effective and operates with compact data. All these factors make it an ultimate solution for document authentication and enterprise workflow. Nowadays, a wide range of equipment is available for digitizing signatures such as palmtop or PDA-type devices, digitizer tablets, pointing devices and smart phones. This paper presents the state of the art in online signature verification. It addresses the most valuable results obtained so far and highlights the most beneficial directions of research to date.]]>Cemil, Oz.,20052005pp: 195-202pp: 195-202Chang, H.D., J.F. Wang and H.M.
