Abstract

The invention comprises a personal identification device used in function of a peripheral device and/or for communication with an external network. In one embodiment, a non-removable personal identification device communicates presence of a specific individual to a peripheral device, such as an ignition interlock device, a tracking system, and/or a communication system or person, such as a police network, an enforcement agency, a regulatory network, a supervisor, and/or a parent or guardian. For example, information related to the peripheral device reliant in part on the presence of the personal identification device is communicated with the remote system. Optionally, any information associated with the personal identification device and/or the peripheral device is maintained in a secure format warranting true information, usable in a legal setting.
