In this work, we present the development and analysis of a feature model for dynamic handwritten signature recognition to improve its effectiveness. The feature model is based on the extraction of both global features (signature length, average angle between signature vectors, range of dynamic characteristics, proportionality coefficient, average input speed) and local features (pen coordinates, pressure, azimuth, and tilt angle). We utilized the method of potentials to generate a signature template that accounts for variations in writing style. Experimental evaluation was conducted using the MCYT_Signature_100 signature database, which contains 2500 genuine and 2500 forged samples. We determined optimal compactness values for each feature, enabling us to accommodate signature writing variability and enhance recognition accuracy. The obtained results confirm the effectiveness of the proposed feature model and its potential for biometric authentication systems, presenting practical interest for information security specialists.
