Abstract: In contemporary society, signatures hold significant importance in various critical documents such as bank cheques, passports, and driver's licenses. Unfortunately, they can be counterfeited through various means, giving rise to issues like fraudulent identifications, identity theft, and cyber-attacks. To mitigate this problem, our project is centered around the development of a system that discerns the authenticity of a signature, distinguishing between genuine and forged signatures within a dataset. We have employed Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) and deep learning for this purpose. This choice is driven by the understanding that signatures evolve over time due to a range of behavioral factors like age, mental state, and physical well-being. Consequently, our system is designed to adapt and learn from diverse training datasets, enhancing its accuracy in detection. While online and offline signature verification methods exist, our project primarily focuses on the latter, specifically targeting the detectionof forged offline signatures.
