Realising a signature verification using Single Electron Transport Devices.

Abstract

The need for developing faster systems are a trend today. Binary decision devices, working on the principle of single electrons are much faster and low time consuming. This paper aims at realizing a system of signature verification using single electron transistors. Single electron transistors can be used as binary decision devices to create logic gates, flip-flops etc. These logic circuit components will be employed to realize a signature verification system. The advantage of single electron transistor is its compact size and low power requirement. Also, single electron transistors have a much faster switching speed. Hence, SETs can be said to be the electronic equipments of the future. Their application in an offline signature verification device would help create a system that is fast, robust and low power consuming. Signature is an important tool to validate one’s identity. This project would help in creating a device that would verify the authenticity of a signature using the SETs.
