Popis: This paper directly follows on from prior research into DBS, the properties of DBS, security, its resistance to forgery and its stability. Experiments under stress situations, conducted during a survival course at the University of Defence of the Czech Republic, are described herein. It was shown that a handwritten signature developed by way of long-term practice and the reinforcement of a dynamic stereotype, consisting of the physiological, anatomical and motoric properties of each and every individual, becomes automatic to such an extent that the subconscious appending of a signature protects it from outside influences to a similar degree as we proved in the past in relation to alcohol. The experiments also identified that shorter signatures (abbreviated signature, initials) show very high variability of conformity and non-conformity between individual signatures. It was proven that the quality of recognising a signature rises with the length of the information written down. It was also again confirmed that the use of a 1st signature as “practice”, not included in the results, reduced the variability of signatures among all participants.
