Claim:
1. A method for authenticating a signature made by a signer, comprising: generating a sequence of biometric samples of a biometric quantity by continuously sampling the biometric quantity associated with the signer in successive sampling intervals while the signer is making the signature, wherein each biometric sample includes identifying information associated with a source or format of the biometric sample; validating a continuity of the generated sequence of biometric samples, wherein validating the continuity of the generated sequence of biometric samples comprises: validating that each biometric sample in the generated sequence of biometric samples corresponds to the signer; and authenticating the signature of the signer in response to determining that each biometric sample in the generated sequence of biometric samples is validated and that the continuity of the sequence of biometric samples is validated.
