The different choices made at each step are documented. User authentication systems involving only a chip card or a chip card and a {PIN} are subject to the possible sharing of card and {PIN} between multiple persons, which will allow multiple persons to be able to authenticate as a single person. The system proposed and implemented herein is not subject to this through a combination of fingerprints and chip card as a means to authenticate. Since a fingerprint cannot be easily shared like a {PIN}. This method provides a more secure verification of the actual presence of the authorized person." }
