Abstract

A method for authenticating a user on a transportation vehicle, wherein the transportation vehicle is coupled to an external device storing an authentication secret code and to at least one token storing a token secret code. In the method the token secret code is transmitted to the transportation vehicle when an operator control action performed with the at least one token is sensed. A new secret code is generated from the token secret code and is compared with the authentication secret code. When the new secret code matches the authentication secret code, the user is authenticated on the transportation vehicle. Also disclosed is an apparatus for authenticating a user on a transportation vehicle.
