Signing your name is now such an automatic way of proving identity and validating a document that we forget that the signature has its own history. This presentation will explore the challenge of forged and fraudulent handwriting and the cultivation of professional expertise in its detection. The closely related field of graphology (interpretation of character from handwriting) will also be considered.
