Abstract

"The use of the Internet as a means of accessing a large variety of network services requires the implementation of security procedures that ensure the authenticity of users. Currently most technology that relies on a personal identification number (PIN) or password for personal authentication purposes hardly meets the satisfactory security level. In this paper we present a personal identification system that offers personal identification services via the Internet based on personal biometrics characteristics (signatures, faces and fingerprints). The implemented personal identification system, named the Personal Identification Network, offers two basic real time services via the Internet: the visual consulting service and the automatic personal verification service. The prototype of the proposed personal identification system for handwritten signatures now is found implemented, operating and can be accessed via the Web site: http://www.lrprc.fee.unicamp.br/id. A detailed description of the implemented method for biometrics signature information processing and feature extraction, as well as the implemented decision algorithm for automatic signature verification, can be found in a parallel submitted paper (Part II)."
