A system and method for verifying the identity of a person while the person is performing a seemingly unrelated act. The position of a person's hand (40) in contact with a sensing surface (44), while holding an object (42) and/or performing a task, such as using a writing instrument to write one's signature or a computer mouse (42) in association with a computer, for example, is distinctive and consistent and will serve to verify the identity of a person, when data defining such contact is compared with a standard defined by previously determined data from the same person. Sensing devices (45), such as pressure or electrical transducers or other sensors can be located in or on a sensing surface to determine the parameters of contact between the person's hand (40) and the sensing surface (44). |
