In this current world where technology is growing up day by day and scientific researchers are presenting new era of discoveries, the need for security is also increasing in all areas. At present, the vehicle usage is basic necessity for everyone. Simultaneously, protecting the vehicle against theft is also very important. Traditional vehicle security system depends on many sensors and cost is also high. When the vehicle is stolen, no more response or alternative could be available to help the owner of the vehicle to find it back. The main goal of this paper is to protect the vehicle from any unauthorized access, using fast, easy-to-use, clear, reliable and economical fingerprint recognition technique. This vehicle security system intimates the status of the vehicle to the authoritative person (owner) using Global System for Mobile (GSM) communication technology. If the person is certified, vehicle access is allowed. Else SMS will be sent to the owner and the engine will be immobilized. The prototype model for the security system is built on the embedded platform using PIC Microcontroller which controls all the processes and cost is also very stumpy. On higher end theft attempts like cutting battery power supply, protection to the vehicle is provided by Engine Control Unit (ECU) embedded on microcontroller. By using GPS technology, vehicle can be identified very easily. Thus, the system provides security at both levels, i.e. when battery supply is provided or not.

Cancelable biometrics is a good approach to address the security and privacy concerns on biometric authentication. The security of cancelable biometrics lies on non invertibility of the transformed templates. So the transforms should be noninvertible and the original biometric template cannot be recovered. Our proposed method initially involves segmentation process to identify blood vessel bifurcation points in the retina, and then the generation of template consisting of the bifurcation points in the blood vessels and the template is transformed using Noninvertible construction (NIC) algorithm and finally matching of the bifurcation points in different patterns. Our work mainly focused to provide the efficient person authentication and the secured biometric template, which has the unique patterns of blood vessels. The effectiveness of our proposed system is then verified with experimental results using a total of 603 retinal images from three different publicly available databases, namely DRIVE, VARIA and STARE. Also we have made a performance analysis, and found that the proposed retinal recognition method gives 100%, 98% and 93% recognition rates, 0%, 0.16%, 0.62% error rates for the above databases and analyzed the Genuine Acceptance Rate (GAR), False Acceptance Rate (FAR) and False Rejection Rate (FAR), Elapsed time respectively. The experimental results obtained using various databases shows that the application of Retinal feature extraction algorithm (RFEA) and NCI results in higher recognition rates and lower error rates.
