Abstract
A security device is disclosed. The security device includes multiple fingerprint sensors. Activating the security device requires users to enter an authentication sequence comprised of different finger-to-fingerprint-sensor combinations. This increases the number of available distinct elements that can be used in an authentication sequence of a given length for a fixed number of buttons. The device also combines two different modes of authentication to improve security. The security device can be integrated into motor vehicles, mobile computing devices or other systems.
