The pressure from automobile insurance companies, along with the concerns of vehicle owners and the increasing rate of theft and the sophistication of car thieves, has prompted designers and manufacturers to come up with new designs and ideas for anti-theft systems every day. In this research, a three-layer security system was designed and a prototype was built. The Arduino microcontroller was used for programming. Additionally, biometric fingerprint recognition, RFID technology, and a keypad for code entry were employed to activate the system. The results showed that the RFID system, with an average of 2.4 seconds, was the fastest method, while fingerprint scanning took 3.7 seconds, making it the slowest method for information retrieval by the Arduino board. Overall, the designed three-layer system requires 9.76 seconds to activate. In this electronic circuit, the activation of the switch, waking up the ECU, operating the fuel pump, and starting the ignition can be contingent upon receiving this information. The system will remain inactive until the correct information from the three security layers is entered. After design, this system was installed on an inline four-cylinder engine and numerous field tests were conducted under real conditions to evaluate its performance.
