System and method for identifying a user by grading a digital representation of an analogue form entered by the user

摘要

A system for identifying a user by deriving a digital representation of an analogue form entered by the user, the analogue form being distinctive of the user; and by grading the digital representation against a plurality of grades. The grades are defined dependent upon possible variation in the analogue form. The grades ensure the same grading of the analogue form notwithstanding the variation. The graded digital representation constitutes an identification of the user.
