Research and Markets: Is Biometrics the Answer to the Rising Trends of Car-jacking and Vehicle Key-related Crime?DUBLIN, Ireland -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c21693) has announced the addition of "An analysis of biometric bi·o·met·rics n. (used with a sing. verb) The statistical study of biological phenomena. bi technology for automotive security applications" to their offering. Vehicle security development has reached an important milestone. The use of immobiliser systems fitted to new vehicles has caused a change in theft techniques used by car thieves List of Thieves.

The increasing use of immobiliser systems has caused a change in theft techniques used by car thieves, resulting in a significant increase in the number of vehicles stolen using the original vehicle keys. The challenge facing the vehicle security industry is how to prevent this theft method. So how can we verify that it is the genuine vehicle owner who is using the vehicle key? One possible solution to this verification problem is the use of biometric technologies. This report investigates the application of biometrics The biological identification of a person. Examples are face, iris and retinal patterns, hand geometry and voice. Increasingly built into laptop computers, fingerprint readers have become popular as a secure method for identification. within the automotive security industry. Four of the most developed technologies: fingerprint fingerprint, an impression of the underside of the end of a finger or thumb, used for identification because the arrangement of ridges in any fingerprint is thought to be unique and permanent with each person (no two persons having the same prints have ever been , iris, face and voice recognition, are analysed and compared against key factors such as cost, security, application and customer acceptance. According to according to prep. 1. As stated or indicated by; on the authority of: according to historians. 2. In keeping with: according to instructions. 3. data from insurers in Holland, close to 80% of thefts of cars under 6 years old involved the theft of the car keys. The British Crime Survey The British Crime Survey or BCS is a systematic victim study, currently carried out by BMRB Limited on behalf of the Home Office. The BCS seeks to measure the amount of crime in England and Wales by asking around 50,000 people aged 16 and over, living in private households, 2001 puts this figure at 53% for the UK. The challenge facing the vehicle security industry is how to prevent these theft methods. Some additional verification of the user is required to ensure that it is the genuine vehicle owner who is using the vehicle key. One possible solution to this verification problem is the use of biometric technologies and this study investigates their application within the arena of vehicle security.
