Researchers explored the use of advanced Vision-Language Models (VLMs) for online signature verification, testing GPT-5.2 and Gemini 2.5 Pro in a zero-shot capacity. The study converted kinematic data into images and used token probabilities for scoring. Results showed VLMs excel at detecting random forgeries, with GPT-5.2 achieving a 0.32% Equal Error Rate on mobile tasks, surpassing existing supervised methods. However, performance significantly degraded on skilled forgeries, revealing a "Rationalization Trap" where chain-of-thought reasoning led to incorrect justifications for forgery artifacts. AI
