Graphometric Signature
DigitalSign was present at ENFHEX & EDEWG Joint Meeting 2026, which took place from 29 September to 1 October at the premises of the Judicial Police in Lisbon. In this way, Miguel Cruz, Commercial Director of DigitalSign, accompanied the work of one of the main European forums dedicated to forensic expertise in manual writing and documentation.
In addition, the meeting brought together two ENFSI working groups — European Network of Forensic Science Institutes: ENFHEX (European Network of Forensic Handwriting Experts) and EDEWG (European Document Experts Working Group). In fact, it was the first joint meeting of the two groups in 28 years and brought together more than 180 participants.
In fact, the presence at the event continues the collaboration between DigitalSign and the Police. For example, in April 2026, DigitalSign gave PJ a technical training in graphometric signatures, aiming to position its solution as a reference in the analysis and expertise processes of the Scientific Police Laboratory.
In addition, monitoring closely who examines signatures and documents in a judicial context allows DigitalSign to better understand the expertise requirements. At the same time, it ensures that its solutions produce evidence that resists such scrutiny.
The central theme of the meeting, the authenticity of writing and documents, is the heart of DigitalSign activity. Today, the signature has migrated from the paper to tablets and screens, so experts need new data and methods to verify it.
So, graphometric signatures respond to that need. For this, they capture in real time the biometric characteristics of the manuscript gesture, namely pressure, speed, rhythm and angle, and associate them safely to the signed document. In short, the result is a natural signature for those who sign and verify for those who analyze it.
“Forensics is the most demanding test a signature can be subjected to. Beside the Judicial Police and European experts at this meeting reinforces our commitment: that every signature made with DigitalSign can be verified today and in the future.", underlines Miguel Cruz, Commercial Director of DigitalSign.
Finally, in the year it celebrates 20 years, DigitalSign strengthens its presence with the institutions that guarantee security and justice in Portugal and Europe.
