Where is the Forensic and Biometric information ?
All of the data needed for forensic and biometric verification of a signature is stored in the .sig format data. As a user of the .sig format data, you cannot view this forensic and biometric information. The objective of the Topaz system is to only allow forensic or biometric characteristics to be available to a handwriting expert and forensic document examiner. If we were to format the display or printing of the signature to show biometric and forensic cues, we would potentially be providing cues to a potential forger. Therefore, by design, the Topaz displayed or printed signature is very “flat” with no stress shading or line width variations. This provides a valuable extra level of biometric and forensic security to your signature.
