Abstract:
A fingerprint enrollment and verification module is connected to the electrical circuit of a vehicle to prevent operation of the vehicle by unauthorized users. The module has a sensor that creates a template of a fingerprint when a finger is placed on the module. The module has a flash memory to store enrolled templates and a verification step. After a fingerprint has been enrolled in the module, any operation of that vehicle is possible only after the user's fingerprint is verified to match the enrolled template.
