Abstract
The present disclosure relates to an electronic device which comprises a circuitry configured to authenticate a second electronic device when the circuitry detects based on a privacy preserving algorithm that the two electronic devices are associated with the same body. Furthermore, the present disclosure relates to a method comprising authenticating data communication between a first electronic device and a second electronic device when detecting based on a privacy preserving algorithm that the two electronic devices are associated with the same body.
Claims23
An electronic device comprising:
- a first sensor configured to obtain first body-related information from a body near the first sensor:
- and
- a circuitry configured to:
- obtain second body-related information from a second electronic device;
- and
- authenticate the second electronic device when the circuitry detects, based on a privacy preserving algorithm that determines whether the first body-related information matches the second body-related information, that the two electronic devices are associated with the same body.
3-5. (canceled)
The electronic device according to claim I, wherein the circuitry is configured to obtain the second body-related information from the second electronic device by short range wireless communication and/or a wide range wireless communication.
8-9. (canceled)
The electronic device according to claim wherein the circuitry is configured to detect if the first body-related information and the second body-related information obtained from the second electronic device relate to a common characteristic body feature.
A method comprising:
- obtaining first body-related information from a first sensor of a first electronic device:
- obtaining second body-related information from a second electronic device;
- authenticating data communication between the first electronic device and the second electronic device when a privacy preserving algorithm determines that the first body-related information matches the second body-related information and that the two electronic devices are associated with a same body.
