Annotation: The paper compares two methods of user authentication based on a handwritten signature. The first is based on the extraction of local signature features as functions that depend on the time of its application. The second extracts global signature features that characterize it entirely without reference to the moments of application. Authentication algorithms are presented for each of the methods; experiments are carried out on real handwritten signatures obtained during the study.

Keywords: pattern recognition, machine learning, authentication, handwritten signature
