Niko Kalantzis: Presentation for the ASQDE 78th Conference (August 2020)
As presented for the 78th conference of the American Society of Questioned Document Examiners (ASQDE)
The use of Digitally Captured Signature technology in everyday casework: collecting & using samples with the Wacom Clipboard
Description: Forensic Handwriting Examination research in Digitally Captured Signature (DCS) usually focuses either on the examination procedure of a disputed DCS or the comparison of signing behavior between glass and paper. Still there is another aspect of DCS technology that can enhance the FHE analysis in everyday casework that focuses on traditional pen and paper signatures (P&P). This presentation focuses on the benefits of using DCS technology to collect comparison samples for P&P cases, the process of sample collection (either for a disputed DCS or a disputed P&P case) as well as the benefits of using the Wacom Clipboard (PHU-111) for the DCS capturing, highlighting on managerial aspects of the process. Forensic Handwriting Examination research in Digitally Captured Signatures (DCS) usually focuses either on the examination procedure of a disputed DCS or the comparison and contrast of signing behavior between glass and paper. Still, there is another aspect of DCS technology that can enhance the FHE analysis in everyday casework, one that focuses on traditional pen and paper (P&P) signatures. This presentation focuses on the benefits of using DCS technology to collect comparison samples for P&P cases, the process of sample collection (either for a disputed DCS or a disputed P&P case), as well as the benefits of using the Wacom Clipboard (PHU-111) for capture. The clipboard allows simultaneous capturing of a signature formation in both A4 paper form and digitally, enhancing the managerial aspects of the process within casework with respect to document creation and handling.
