Fingerprint Anti-theft Device for Vehicles

Interesting

Scottsdale, AZ - Got a nice car? Worried that it may not be there when you need it most? Your fears may be well justified. According to the National Insurance Crime Bureau, 1,235,226 vehicles were stolen in the United States in 2005. There is one vehicle stolen every 26 seconds in the United States. Want to increase your odds of keeping your ride? One company in Arizona thinks they have the answer.

SID Protect Inc. announced the release of the SID, a fingerprint anti-theft device for vehicles. When SID is fitted to a vehicle, only those people whose fingerprints are registered in the device can start the vehicle.

There are a number of devices for preventing vehicle theft currently on the market. These range from the very simple to the very complex, steering wheel locks, wheel locks, immobilizers and alarm systems. The thing that these systems have in common is that they rely on something car owners have, a key or a remote, or something they know, a PIN number. Keys and remotes can be lost or stolen and PIN numbers can become known by unauthorized person. Any person who has the key or remote, or knows the PIN number, can steal the vehicle.


"SID takes a different approach to securing your vehicle," said Rob van Gils, VP SID Protect Inc. "Instead of anyone who has the keys or remote, or knows the PIN number, being able to use the vehicle we believe that only the people you want to be able to use your vehicle can use it," according to van Gils. SID uses biometric fingerprint technology to ensure that only those people who have been authorized by the vehicle owner can operate the vehicle. Up to 20 users, plus the owner can be stored in the device. The owner becomes the administrator for SID and is the only person able to add or delete users and set or change the optional PIN number. This gives the owner complete control of the system and ensures that only people he authorizes are enrolled in SID.


A valet mode is included for those times when someone other than an enrolled user, when a vehicle is being serviced or repaired, needs to be able to use the vehicle. Any enrolled user can put the vehicle into valet mode and take it out of valet mode.
SID does not replace the ignition key, it provides an additional level of security using a person's unique fingerprint. To be able to start the vehicle, a person must have the ignition key and also have their fingerprint registered in SID. Even if the ignition key is stolen, the vehicle is still protected by SID.


"When designing SID we wanted a system that would give the best in security, using the latest technology, be simple to install and operate, and would fit the widest range of vehicles" said Rob van Gils, VP SID Protect Inc. "We believe we have achieved this with SID. Not only does it incorporate biometric fingerprint technology it can, due to its design, be used on virtually any vehicle – cars, trucks, buses, SUV's etc." (Photos - Biometric Solutions)

Biometrics on Credit and Debit Cards


New TRUSTe Study Reports A Majority of Consumers Want Biometrics on Credit and Debit Cards

San Francisco, CA - Eighty-two percent of Americans support the use of biometric identification on passports, according to a recent survey conducted by TRUSTe, the leading online privacy certification and seal program, and market information group TNS. Three-quarters of Americans support the addition of biometric information to driver's licenses and nearly as many (72.6 percent) support adding it to Social Security cards. More than half (52 percent) of respondents agreed with the statement that "it will make it much harder for terrorists to operate within the U.S. with the use of biometrics to establish the identity of Americans." Conducted in September 2006, the survey indicates that Americans are willing to forego some personal privacy and anticipate misuse of the information in exchange for security.

- Fifty-three percent of respondents agreed with the statement that the use of biometrics "will greatly reduce personal privacy because the government will be able to track your movements."

- Sixty percent of respondents agreed that "there is a high potential for the government to misuse the information."

But Americans also seem unsure as to how effective biometrics are in combating identity theft. More than two-thirds of Americans (68 percent) believe that adding biometric identifiers to ID documents will make it much more difficult for thieves to steal their identities but a nearly identical proportion (67 percent) think that "criminals will find a way around the technology."

Seventy percent of respondents had heard of biometrics, the measurement of unique physical characteristics used to verify personal identity, prior to being surveyed.

"The survey results seem to indicate that in dealing with government use of biometric data, most people will tolerate a decrease in personal privacy to gain increased security in the form of physical safety," said Fran Maier, executive director and president, TRUSTe. "This doesn't seem to translate to the retail sphere where consumers appear to be more cautious about giving away their personally identifiable information. At TRUSTe, we believe the retail sector can build trust in the use of biometrics by promoting privacy through informed choice about the way that consumers' information is going to be used."

The study indicates three out of five Americans support adding biometric data to credit cards (64 percent) and debit cards (62 percent), but are much less likely to want that information on a retail store loyalty card (27 percent). This corresponds to other findings in the survey that 76 percent of respondents trusted banks and financial institutions "always" or "most of the time" as compared to 41 percent of respondents trusting retail stores "always" or "most of the time."

The survey revealed that consumers don't trust systems that use biometric identification as a payment method. Less than two percent of respondents have used a fingerprint payment system and 32 percent say that they "do not trust retail stores with this information." Only 23 percent of respondents expressed a desire to use this kind of payment system.

"We wanted to determine how Americans view the use of biometrics for a variety of identification purposes," said David Stark, North America privacy officer, TNS. "The results of our survey suggest that there are still a significant number of people who are apprehensive about the use of biometrics as a form of ID, and that this number is much greater for retail uses than for government identification."

Methodology

Commissioned by TRUSTe and conducted by market research group TNS, the survey polled 1,025 U.S. consumers between September 25 and September 29, 2006. Email invitations were sent to a nationally representative sample of the U.S. adult online population derived from the TNS NFO Internet Access Panel, which comprises more than one million U.S. households that have agreed to participate in survey research from time to time. In total, 1,025 online interviews were completed and the survey results are considered accurate to within three percentage points, 19 times out of 20. (Source - Truste)
