Abstract

A method for authenticating a user with respect to a facility, for example, with respect to a vehicle. A signal having an item of information relating to the user is injected into skin of the user by a transmitting device. Direct contact is established between the skin of the user and a receiving device assigned to the facility, with the result that the signal is transmitted from the skin of the user to the receiving device. The user is also authenticated based on the signal received by the receiving device.
