Claims20
A wearable personal digital ID device comprising:
- a crypto/cipher engine having at least one digital identifier including one or more keys for challenge-response;
- a button accessible to a user of the personal digital ID device;
- a fingerprint sensor positioned on a surface of the button to allow for fingerprint scanning when the user interacts with the button;
- a radio;
- a processor coupled to the crypto/cipher engine, the button, the fingerprint sensor, and the radio, the processor configured to validate the user through a fingerprint scan and to make the one or more keys for challenge-response available to perform authentication with a cloud service through a mobile device by powering the radio for a predetermined duration in response to a validated user interacting with the button;
- and
- a housing formed to encircle the user's wrist, the housing comprising a connector that when opened modifies electrical functionality of the wearable personal digital identity device.
