the implementation of biometrics into the ignition system of motor vehicles

📄 Project Abstract

With the rise in global theft and increasing crime levels, it is becoming essential to find a viable alternative to the security of automobiles. Cars are important in the day to day activities of our lives so it is important for our cars to have adequate security systems. Security systems advanced over the years from the normal lock and key system, to the electronic alarm system. Security measures were put in place to prevent unauthorized entry into the cars but over the years, measures have also been put in place to bypass such security measures, such as bypassing the key ignition system of a motor vehicle by hot-wiring; which is the ability to start the ignition system of a car without having the key. We have 3 major types of ignition system namely the mechanical, electronic, and distribution less system. For this project, we are making use of the electronic ignition system which makes use of authenticating the user's biometric information before igniting the car. The purpose of this...
