1. A system to secure a mobile asset comprising:
- a user identification card to broadcast a user ID code;
an asset identification device to broadcast an asset ID code;
an interrogator to capture the user ID code and the asset ID code;
a central processing unit coupled to the interrogator to determine if the asset ID code is associated with the user ID code; and
a database coupled to the central processing unit to store information that indicates whether the asset ID code is associated with the user ID code.

Abstract
Systems and methods for securing a mobile asset. In an implementation, a method includes receiving a user ID code associated with a user, receiving an asset ID code associated with a mobile asset, determining if the asset ID code is associated with the user ID code, and emitting an alarm indicator if the asset ID code is not associated with the user ID code.
