An authentication method that uses the dynamics of a person's handwritten signature. The pen pressure and duration of the signing process, which is done with a stylus on a touch screen or digital-based pen tablet, is recorded as an algorithm that is compared against future signatures. See biometrics and keyboard biometrics.
