PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND
Introduction
Security from crimes will always be the concern of the people regardless of their age, gender and even their social status because it’s one of our basic needs as stated by Abraham Maslow, an American psychologist. In today’s modern age, we can’t be so sure to our safety that’s why as the number of records of violation such as theft-related crimes continuously increasing, especially in the vehicles like cars - the usual target of thieves because of its lack of security system, developers and researchers continue to improve the anti-theft systems to guarantee the safety and protection of every one of us.
Nowadays a lot of security devices were introduced like alarms, codes detectors, and biometric systems that we can use but biometrics system is the most effective and is the highest level of security system in our generation. Biometrics system refers to an automated system that can identify an individual by measuring their physical and behavioral uniqueness or patterns, and comparing it to those on record. It can identify fingerprints, face, iris, palm prints, signature, DNA, or retinas of an individual for easy and convenient verification ( www.ex-sight.com ). This system was first used by the Chinese in 14th century where merchants used children’s palm and footprints to distinguish them from one another.
When this kind of high-tech security system is installed in cars particularly in car lock, the number of car–theft crime will surely be reduced a lot. Using a finger print detector, cars will be secured from all unauthorized people because of its intelligent system. Moreover, no need to bring keys, remember a password or bring an identification card because the key is in the owner himself. Also, this kind of technology is almost impossible to forge.
Researchers aim to introduce this kind of technology in vehicles particularly the cars to reduce the large number of crime incidence. This high-tech system will
