Abstract: An authenticated personal signature is stored in the database which can be compared to a newly presented signature for validation. The method for registering, analyzing and validating the hand-written personal signature requires that the signature be written in an x, y plane with a writing instrument which has a multiaxis movement detector at its end. The multiaxis movement detector detects the movement of said writing device as a function of time and with six degrees of freedom. The six degrees of freedom given by a linear movement along an x-axis, a y-axis and a z-axis, respectively, as well as by rotation about said x-axis, said y-axis and said z-axis, respectively. The six degrees of freedom of the writing instrument are recorded in predetermined formats in a database. A newly registered personal signature that is presented for validation is compared with the stored authenticated personal signature in the database.
