Abstract:

Signature forgery counterfeit making or fraudulent alteration of any writing and may consist in signing of another ‘s name or deceive others. The alteration of such as confidential documents with the intent to deceive of their legal, or property rights is unacceptable. A handwritten signature is a way of identifying a certain person which authorizes the person to acquire documents and transactions. A human handwritten signature is a special case which includes special characters and flourishes. Handwritten signatures are a kind of artistic handwriting objects. Hence, the researchers came up with the study that aims to reduce the number of signature forgeries in different establishments of the community, with the name, iVerify: An Offline Signature Recognition and Verification for Android phones. As an offshoot of the study, an offline Android application that scans a handwritten signature in a certain document was developed. The scanned signature is trained in the Artificial Neural Network to be recognized. After it has been recognized, it will verify another signature and compares it with the recognized signature. This capstone project was tested by the researchers through Boundary Value Analysis (BVA) and it was successful and ready to be implemented.
