“…The second strategy acknowledges that fibers can be present in fake banknotes, but they appear significantly different from fibers in genuine banknotes due to the low quality of the counterfeiting process. For example, a neural network classifies fibers in Indian rupees according to their illumination and shapes [23]. Fibers in a rupee are evaluated independently from each other.…”

“…Therefore, it is not possible to determine the accuracy of these methods in recognizing genuine banknotes because it depends on the counterfeiters' ability, which is unknown. Also the methods that evaluate the presence of fibers [20], [21], [22], [23] can fall into error if the counterfeiters are able to insert fibers in false banknotes. Instead of the mere presence, the proposed anti-counterfeiting method analyzes the position of the fibers.…”

The use of printed banknotes is widespread despite cashless payment methods: for example, more than 27 billion euro banknotes are currently in circulation, and this amount is constantly increasing. Unfortunately, many false banknotes are in circulation, too. Central banks worlwide are continuously striving to reduce the counterfeiting. To fight against the criminal practice, a range of security features are added to banknotes, such as watermarks, micro-printing, holograms, and embossed characters. Beside these well-known characteristics, the colored fibers inside every banknote have strong potential as a security feature, but have so far been poorly exploited. The mere presence of colored fibers does not guarantee the banknote genuineness, as they can be drawn or printed by counterfeiters. However, their random position can be exploited to uniquely identify the banknote. This paper presents a technique for automatically recognizing fibers and efficiently storing their positions, considering realistic application scenarios. The classification accuracy and fault tolerance of the proposed method are theoretically demonstrated, thus showing its applicability regardless of banknote wear or any implementation issue. This is a major advantage with respect to state-of-the-art anti-counterfeit approaches. The proposed security method is strictly topical, as the European Central Bank plans to redesign euro banknotes by 2024.

“…Fluorescent paper made from cellulosic paper has been extensively sought after because it could concurrently have the intrinsic properties such as flexibility, lightweight, low cost, and recyclability, and the fluorescence. Fluorescent paper could be used as security paper, chemical sensors, or biosensors for fluorescence quenching and its selectivity, and others. − In fact, the fluorescence characteristic available for fluorescent paper heavily depends on the nature of the applied fluorescent coatings and the production processes. Currently, there are some ways to manufacture the fluorescent cellulosic paper, such as immersion, printing, and coating.…”

Fluorescent paper made by coating cellulosic paper with fluorescent composites shows great potential in many fields, since this fluorescent paper could have both the intrinsic mechanical properties of the cellulosic paper and the fluorescent properties of the composites. In this research, we prepared fluorescent paper sheets by coating four new fluorescent composites, namely CMC/Eu(III), CMC/Tb(III), HPCMC/Eu(III), and HPCMC/Tb(III), onto a cellulosic paper. The analysis of the rheological behavior of the composites demonstrated that all fluorescent composites exhibited similar shear-shining and thixotropy properties as both the CMC and HPCMC solutions. This suggested that these fluorescent composites could be used as coating materials in the paper-making industry to make functional paper. The impacts of these coated composites on both the fluorescent and mechanical properties of the cellulosic paper were studied. Mechanical properties, including bursting strength, tensile strength, tensile rate, tearing strength, and folding strength, increased about 30% after the paper was coated with the fluorescent composites. In particular, both the tensile strength and the toughness of the fluorescent paper increased significantly. Emission spectra of all fluorescent paper sheets exhibited the characteristic emission of Tb 3+ ( 5 D 4 → 7 F 5 transition, 545 nm) or Eu 3+ ( 5 D 0 → 7 F 2 transition, 612 nm). Moreover, letters written with the composites suspensions on a common printing paper sheet were clearly observed by the naked eye under UV light at 254 nm. This study thus offers a simple and effective route to prepare quality fluorescent papers by coating fluorescent composites onto cellulosic papers, which could further guide the application of these fluorescent composites in the papermaking industry.

“…Moreover, it is difficult for the eyes of any experts to precisely verify the ratios between lines and angles of a genuine signature to a fraud signature [5]. One reason is that signature is just a special way of handwriting that contains complex geometric patterns and often unreadable plots [6]. A signature forgery is replicating the genuine signature by the forger after careful practice.…”

“…Automatic verification systems that authenticates the person's signature can be categorized as two types, an online (dynamic) and an offline (static) system [6,7]. In online systems, dynamic data can be obtained from an online user display suchlike electronic tablet with an instructed pen and in this case, the input is a sequence of dynamic features about the user writing activity such as the applied pressure, speed of writing, etc.…”

Abstract. Handwritten signature is broadly utilized as personal verification in financial institutions ensures the necessity for a robust automatic signature verification tool. This tool aims to reduce fraud in all related financial transactions' sectors. This paper proposes an online, robust, and automatic signature verification technique using the recent advances in image processing and machine learning. Once the image of a handwritten signature for a customer is captured, several pre-processing steps are performed on it including filtration and detection of the signature edges. Afterwards, a feature extraction process is applied on the image to extract Speeded up Robust Features (SURF) and Scale-Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT) features. Finally, a verification process is developed and applied to compare the extracted image features with those stored in the database for the specified customer. Results indicate high accuracy, simplicity, and rapidity of the developed technique, which are the main criteria to judge a signature verification tool in banking and other financial institutions.
