Forgeries are a major challenge with digital contracts, as their validity is not always immediately apparent without forensic methods. Illiteracy or disabilities may result in a person being unable to write their full name. In this case x-mark signatures are used, which require a witness for validity. In cases of suspected fraud, the relationship of the witnesses must be questioned, which involves a great amount of effort. In this paper we use audio and motion data from a digital pen to identify users via handwritten symbols. We evaluated the performance our approach for 19 symbols in a study with 30 participants. We found that x-marks offer fewer individual features than other symbols like arrows or circles. By training on three samples and averaging three predictions we reach a mean F1-score of F 1 = 0.87, using statistical and spectral features fed into SVMsenDigital PensSignature AuthenticationSigning DocumentsPattern RecognitionHandwriting RecognitionMotor ImpairmentsAccessibilitySign H3re: Symbol and X-Mark Writer Identification Using Audio and Motion Data from a Digital PenText/Conference Paper10.1145/3543758.3543764
