The new e-BioDigit database, which comprises on-line handwritten digits from 0 to 9, has been acquired using the finger as input on a mobile device. A complete analysis of our proposed biometric system is carried out regarding the discriminative power of each handwritten digit and the robustness when increasing the length of the password and the number of enrolment samples.
In our proposed approach, users draw each digit of the password on the touchscreen of the device instead of typing them as usual. In other words, the first microcomputers from Apple are all "signed" Steve Jobs.This work enhances traditional authentication systems based on Personal Identification Numbers (PIN) and One-Time Passwords (OTP) through the incorporation of biometric information as a second level of user authentication. To do this, he turned to PSA, one of the world's leading handwriting authentication services.ĭaniel Kottke (a close friend of Steve Jobs) for his part sent handwritten documents of Steve Jobs to the authentication service so that he could compare as best as possible.Īfter three months of extremely detailed analysis, PSA has made its final conclusion: Steve Jobs is indeed the sole author of the serial number written by hand on each Apple-1 motherboard. Paul Terrell, the owner of the Byte Shop and first sponsor of fifty Apple-1s, claims to have nothing to do with it either.Īchim Baqué, holder of the Apple I register which lists the list of all the computers concerned, looked into the subject in order to solve this mystery.
The two accomplices were however logical suspects: Steve Wozniak as the designer of the CM of the Apple-1 while Steve Jobs participated in the assembly. Steve Wozniak has always assured not to be the author of the serial number, just like Steve Jobs. On each motherboard was indicated an inscription in black felt. The commercialization of this microcomputer, one of the very first, was accompanied by a great mystery.
Designed by Steve Wozniak, Steve Jobs and Ronald Wayne and tested in series in the Jobs garage, the Apple-1 was the first Apple product put on sale in April 1976.
