A device may obtain registration data associated with a registration of an individual. The registration data may include an image that depicts a physical key and a reference object. The device may process the image to identify a first feature of the physical key and a first measurement of the first feature based on the size of the reference object. The device may store first feature data based on the first feature and the first measurement. The device may obtain second feature data based on a second feature of the physical key and a second measurement of the second feature identified from an insertion of the physical key into a keyhole of an authentication mechanism. The device may determine whether the first feature data corresponds to the second feature data. The device may authenticate the individual based on determining that the first feature data corresponds to the second feature data.

A method and a device for authenticating a user. A signal representative of at least one character traced by the user on a surface of a transmitter device is received by the authentication device. The transmitter device includes an antenna able to transmit a radio signal to a terminal of the user via a channel using the electromagnetic wave conduction capabilities of the body of the user when the hand of the user traces the at least one character on or close to the surface of the transmitter device. The authentication device checks whether the received signal corresponds to a previously stored control signal and, in the event of a positive check, confirms authentication of the user.

We present several unique techniques for using touch sensor arrays to detect fingerprints and authenticate a user.

A vehicle is provided that comprises two or more radio frequency (RF) antennas and two or more RF transceivers to communicate wirelessly sensitive information associated with a user of the vehicle (the two or more RF antennas being at different physical locations on an exterior of the vehicle). The vehicle determines which one of the two or more RF antennas is receiving a strongest signal from a common signal source, selects a first RF transceiver associated with the RF antenna with the strongest signal to send the sensitive information associated with the user to the common signal source, and sends the sensitive information associated with the user to the first RF transceiver for transmission to the common signal source.
