| Abstract: |
This paper examines the use of different feature sets and normalization techniques for a signature and password verifier. The verifier made use of the Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) algorithm. Velocity and detrended velocity were found to be the best-performing features in tests against informed forgeries. Overall, password verification did not perform as well as signature verification. On average, the equal error rate for passwords was 2.1% higher than for signatures. Password features achieved best performance when they were not normalized prior to DTW. The same held true for most signature features, other than the top-performing velocity features. These achieved their lowest error rates when they were normalized in both time and power before warping was applied. |
