Abstract: Vehicle theft and unauthorized access are persistent global challenges. Traditional key-based ignition systems and remote keyless entry mechanisms have proven insufficient due to vulnerabilities like duplication, hot-wiring, and relay attacks. This paper presents a dual- authentication ignition system that integrates smart driver’s licence verification with fingerprint recognition, ensuring that only authorized and licensed drivers can start the vehicle. The system employs an RFID-enabled driver’s licence and biometric sensor, managed by an Arduino Uno microcontroller. Only successful dual verification enables ignition. The prototype demonstrates improved security and accountability compared to traditional systems.
