The Document Forensics Laboratory is a joint venture by the Department of Applied Information Technology and Department of Statistics. Funded by the Gannon Technology Groups, LLC, the principal goal is to use a fusion of advanced statistical analysis techniques and information technology to determine the extent to which handwriting can be used as an accurate biometric identifier. Of particular interest are scripts other than Latin. The work of the laboratory has important consequences in national security.
