Abstract
With the development of the digital society, forensic analysis of signatures, in addition to the traditional analysis
of signatures written with a writing medium on a common writing base, has also expanded to the analysis of
signatures that are digitally scanned or digitally captured. Digitally scanned signatures represent some authentic
signatures that have been scanned and implemented in the disputed document using computer technology and
can in no way be considered authentic, especially if the scanning was performed by a person whose name is
not signed in the disputed signature. Digitally captured signatures are gradually replacing the traditional way
of signing, especially in banking transactions both within the Republic of Croatia and internationally. They become
part of the modern forensic analysis of signatures and represent the authentic signatures of a person who
made the writing with his own handwriting with a pen on the signature plate.
The paper aims to present the latest trends in the development of technologies used for signing and also to
present the latest trends in signature forgery. Additionally, in this paper, we present the possibilities of analysing
such signatures in potential real situations.
