Thomas Hecker’s Signalyzer App for iOS
13/05/2021
This is a short presentation of the IOS app Forensic Signalyzer, used to capture and visualize Biometric Signatures using an iPad PRO.
The Forensic Signalyzer designed by Forensic Handwriting Expert Thomas Hecker, allows exporting of the Biometric Signature in image format, exporting of the biometric data in simple .csv format but also in a .csv format compatible with Namirial’s FirmaCertaForensic allowing importing and further analysis on that platform.

ANÁLISIS FORENSE DE FIRMAS CAPTURADAS DIGITALMENTE
20/03/2021
Campus Forense organiza y certifica el primer curso de Análisis Forense de Firmas Capturadas Digitalmente con Nikolaos Kalantzis (Grecia).
Exclusivo para expertos de Latinoamérica y España.
Formación de primer nivel.
ANÁLISIS FORENSE DE FIRMAS CAPTURADAS DIGITALMENTE
Las firmas manuscritas siguen empleándose en nuestra vida diaria, ya sea para el registro de transacciones comerciales como para actos cotidianos. En los últimos años, la digitalización de numerosos procedimientos administrativos y comerciales ha ampliado la vida y uso de la firma manuscrita, ya no en un registro en papel sino en un formato digital. Así, es habitual que nos encontremos firmando en pads digitales con nuestro dedo o con bolígrafos especiales.
Con estos nuevos formatos aparecen nuevos problemas periciales que necesitan de profesionales capacitados y entrenados específicamente en este campo de trabajo emergente. ¿Es lo mismo peritar firmas manuscritas en tinta y papel que firmas capturadas digitalmente?, ¿se pueden cotejar unas con otras?, ¿se pueden cotejar firmas capturadas digitalmente con diferentes software y hardware?, ¿cómo se puede normalizar y cotejar información biométrica de firmas capturadas digitalmente con diferentes software y hardware?, ¿qué es una firma digital original? Estas son algunas de las preguntas que nos hacemos los peritos ante el nuevo desafío forense que involucran las firmas capturadas digitalmente.
Uno de los objetivos de este curso es formar los primeros expertos con competencias forenses para el análisis de firmas capturadas digitalmente. Otro, que estos expertos puedan brindar asesoramiento a empresas y organismos gubernamentales en la adquisición de software y hardware con la sensibilidad y robustez suficiente para minimizar la posibilidad del fraude documental con estas nuevas herramientas digitales
ENFHEX BEST PRACTICE MANUAL Version 3
18/01/2021
We are very happy to announce the publication of the 3rd version of the Best Practice Manual for the Forensic Examination of Handwriting of the European Network of Forensic Handwriting Experts (ENFHEX) – a part of the European Network of Forensic Science Institutes (ENFSI).
Mr. Niko Kalantzis, as a member of the Steering Committee of ENFHEX as well as a member of the STEFA Group 8 responsible for Appendix no. 5, contributed actively to the review and writing of this document.
The 3rd version of the BPM includes Appendix no. 5 which deals with the determination of authenticity of Biometric Signatures (eSignatures, Digitally Captured Signatures), which constitutes the first presentation of an analytical methodology for these new types of signatures.
The 3rd version of the Best Practice Manual for the Forensic Examination of Handwriting is an official document & can be freely downloaded here:
