Abstract: Identity Management is a combination of procedures and innovations to oversee and secure access to an Information Technology infrastructure. A user authentication in an automobile is a critical security issue due to their unattended and improper deployment as most automobiles are outfitted with limited computing power and accordingly verifying users has now been a fundamental security concern. The methodology employed in this paper is Method for Architecting Secure Solutions (MASS) minutiae-based matching module for finger print identification. The most ordinarily utilized identity management tool is the secret key and username approach which ends up plainly weakened when the more prominent verification of the user identity is required. In this paper, a multi-factor client user identity management paradigm is proposed named Name, Age and Biometric (NAB) which is a mobile application embedded on a microcontroller. This framework has the capability of confirming the Name, Age and Biometric (fingerprint) of the user. The point is to give a layered barrier and make it more difficult for unauthorized user to gain access to automobile, control age eligibility to access the automobile and control theft cases. Keywords: MASS, Identity Management, Biometric.
1. INTRODUCTION Identity Management according to Slone ( 2004) is defined as the quality or condition of being the same; absolute or essential sameness, oneness. To be uniquely identified form someone in this era is based on identity. There is continuity in automatic electronics which is likely to end now but to move to a more advanced level. Nowadays, modern automobiles are manufactured with multiplicity of microcontrollers that are networked together via various communication approaches with diverse properties. These automotive communications are linked to several important components of the automotive like the brake system, airbag, the control board and the engine Wolf et al(2004). Security of automobiles are becoming paramount to be able to cater for theft cases and also control the situations where as a result of curious children in attempt to practice what they observe. The continuous integration of advance but unsecured automotive control systems with new automobile multimedia networks like Media Oriented System Transport and Global System For Mobile Communication as well as Bluetooth causes various security risk. This paper presents a more secured and layered barrier approach which makes it more difficult for unauthorized user to gain access to an automobile, control age eligibility to access the automobile by using NAB. This is made up of a mobile device which provides an interface to accept the name of the owner, the age of the owner and finger print of the owner.
