Embodiments of the invention are generally directed to systems, methods, devices, and machine-readable mediums for implementing gesture-based signature authentication. In one embodiment, a method may involve recording a first gesture-based signature and storing the recorded first gesture-based signature. Then the method compares the first gesture-based signature with a second gesture-based signature. Then the method verifies the first gesture-based signature as authentic when the first gesture-based signature is substantially similar to the second gesture-based signature.

Handwriting verification methods and related computer systems, and handwriting-based user authentication methods and related computer systems are disclosed. A handwriting verification method comprises obtaining a handwriting test sample containing a plurality of available parameters, extracting geometric parameters, deriving geometric features comprising an x-position value and a y-position value for each of a plurality of feature points in the test sample, performing feature matching between geometric features of the test sample and a reference sample, determining a handwriting verification result based at least in part on the feature matching, and outputting the handwriting verification result. Techniques and tools for generating and preserving electronic handwriting data also are disclosed. Raw handwriting data is converted to a streamed format that preserves the original content of the raw handwriting data. Techniques and tools for inserting electronic handwriting data into a digital image also are disclosed.

One or more contemporaneous signature images are captured while a user generates an electronic signature for a document. When one or more contemporaneous signature images maps to a verification image, signature data representative of an electronic signature is associated with the document.

A user authentication apparatus includes: a motion sensor configured to receive motion data associated with a motion of a body of the user authentication apparatus; a biometric sensor configured to receive biometric data associated with a user of the user authentication apparatus; and a processor configured to identify a signature of the user based on the motion data, and authenticate the user based on the identified signature and the biometric data.

A system and method for remotely generating an original signature provided by a signatory as a user of a first mobile device are disclosed. According to one embodiment, the system comprises a cloud server having a signature transmission API, and a video stream module configured to facilitate a live video stream. The system further includes a pen plotter having a plotter controller communicatively coupled to the cloud server by the signature transmission API. The pen plotter has a mechanical arm configured to receive an ink pen, and a video capture device communicatively coupled to the video stream module of the cloud server and configured to capture video of the pen plotter and transmit to the video stream module.

A method of recognizing individuals by means of at least one processor executing a recognition algorithm comprising the steps of: detecting biometric characteristics of a finger of a candidate for recognition while writing a signature by pressing the finger against a signature surface; encoding both the written signature and also the biometric characteristics in order to form signature data and biometric data of the candidate; and using the algorithm to compare the signature data and the biometric data of the candidate with signature data and fingerprint biometric data belonging to at least one individual and stored on a data medium.

Certain aspects of the present methods and systems may focus on computer implemented methods of obtaining digitized hand-writing data corresponding to a sample of a needed code point of a set of code points. Such methods may include: obtaining a sample of digitized handwritten text, the sample of digitized handwritten text including glyph data corresponding to a first glyph, the first glyph corresponding to the needed code point of the set of code points; associating the first glyph with the needed code point; identifying stroke data in the glyph data, the stroke data corresponding to a stroke component of the first glyph, determining a plurality of dimensional values of the stroke component in the stroke data; and associating the plurality of dimensional values with a new code point sample of the needed code point in a code point set data structure.

Embodiments of the invention are directed to systems, methods and computer program products for providing physical marker coding for resource distribution adjustment or duress signaling when using paper resource distribution documents. Paper resource distribution documents have limited amount of multi-factor authentication. Thus, the system provides a system for multi-factor authentication of paper documents for enhancement of the authentication and security of utilizing paper resource distribution documents. Real-time and/or archived bio-data and geo-data are leveraged to validate the authentication of a resource distribution document. The data associated with the resource distribution document presented at a downstream point are used to verify the authentication of the drafting and executing of the resource distribution document.
