Can signatures stored in Glimpse be copied? Are they secure?

Signatures in the Glimpse system are stored in an encoded format within the SQL Server database. Whilst it is technically possible to copy any data stored in a database, it would be possible to determine that this had happened because the data would be “too perfect” a copy. Repeated signatures by the same person show considerable variation. Copying digital data preserves every single detail – therefore it is possible (with sufficient expertise) to copy a signature, but it would be possible to see that had happened by analysing the data.
