What about those of us who make slight variations on our signature? Only a forger could get a 100% exact copy. The Fraunhofer Institute for Computer Graphics Research IGD has come up with this new technique for verifying your identity. The new system is based on a computer analysis of personal hand movement characteristics and pressure on the pen.
However, a signature can vary depending on the kind of pen and on the surface where one signs, and even on our state of health and energy at the moment of signing. How would you like to have your payment rejected because the computer does not accept your signature as genuine? I would much rather take chances with my pin code.
