Abstract
Vehicle security is a big issue worldwide. Vehicle manufacturing company provides active/passive RFID based remote key for door entry-level, and same is used engine ignition. Using the master RFID signal reader device can read the active/passive signal remotely which are available in open market, this situation is very vulnerable to vehicle safety. The advantage of a multilayer authentication system is, it provides protection at entry level, So, if a door is not opened, neither engine turning on nor vehicle movement is possible, goods and personal belonginess inside a vehicle remain safe. A smart authentication system is developed with a Raspberry pi development board, which is interfaced with fingerprint biometric, and camera modules. This multilayer vehicle door security system provides an option for the use of anyone or both authentication level in logically ANDing mode, such as a driver can be utilizing security system for smart key, finger biometric, and face recognition. Multilayer authentication will restrict unauthorized entry into the vehicle. The owner of the vehicle can set and use a multilayer authentication system as per the requirement. Once this system is installed in a vehicle, it will provide maximal level security at the preliminary stage as restricted entry from the door. In a laboratory environment, system implementation and testing were very successfully carried out and provided satisfying results. Multilayer authentication for Vehicle Door Access using Open-source devices will reduce the number of crimes significantly related to vehicle theft and unauthorized access of the vehicle.
