Abstract

We present a procedure to create brute-force signature forgeries. The procedure is supported by Sign4J, a dynamic signature imitation training software that was specifically built to help people learn to imitate the dynamics of signatures. The main novelty of the procedure lies in a feedback mechanism that is provided to let the user know how good the imitation is and on what part of the signature the user has still to improve. The procedure and the software are used to generate a set of brute-force signatures on the MCYT-100 database. This set of forged signatures is used to evaluate the rejection performance of a baseline dynamic signature verification system. As expected, the brute-force forgeries generate more false acceptation in comparison to the random and low-force forgeries available in the MCYT-100 database.
