Strengthening identity systems with Wacom digital signature technology

July 30, 2024

In the United States, each state’s Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) plays a crucial role in providing essential services to more than 230 million Americans. These critical public services include vehicle registration, driver’s licenses, and non-license ID cards essential for things like voting and opening a bank account. Driver’s licenses serve a critical function not just for permission to operate a vehicle but for identification for many different kinds of transactions. Ensuring the security of this information is vital to prevent identity theft and maintain a high-trust system.

The challenge: enhancing authentication and security

Issuing a driver’s license requires trusted and consistent authentication measures to verify applicants’ identities accurately. With the rise of fraudulent documents and identity theft, governments are increasingly turning to biometric solutions like photo, signature, and fingerprint capture. Multi-biometric identification systems are gaining traction to bolster security against evolving threats.

The solution: Wacom’s cutting-edge technology 

With more than 40 years of expertise, Wacom is a leader of signature solutions lech, and we are very experienced with the importance and the impact of leveraging technology like biometric authentication and electro-magnetic resonance (EMR) technology for a variety of organizations—DMVs included.  

Wacom devices capture not only the visual signature but also metadata such as device ID, GPS location, pressure, acceleration, and lift of the pen. This comprehensive data that is available to the organization but invisible to a customer or citizen makes imitation virtually impossible. When integrated with other biometric modalities, Wacom’s solutions contribute to robust multi-biometric identification systems. 

Wacom has a variety of signature solutions, including software and hardware, that can be invaluable in environments like the department of motor vehicles. Take a look here.
