Actual trends in HCI deal with moving systems to mobile environments. Moreover, biometrics is a technology that is entering maturity, getting involved in several security architectures nowadays. Thus, migrating biometrics to mobile scenarios is trending topic in the research community. Nevertheless, in this kind of systems, usability has been put aside unintentionally in the intent of produce better performance and it could involve undesirable results. To fill this gap a behavioural biometric modality (handwritten signature verification) is evaluated in this paper in mobile environments, in order to obtain a complete usability report. Users had to sign on an iPad with different styluses in different scenarios, relating performance results with several usability parameters (gathered through video, notes and forms) and obtaining interesting outcomes.
