Abstract
A wearable device is provided for authentication that includes a memory element and processing circuitry coupled to the memory element. The memory element configured to store a plurality of user profiles. The processing circuitry is configured to identify a pairing between the wearable device and a device. The processing circuitry is configured to identify a user of the wearable device. The processing circuitry also is configured to determine if the identified user matches a profile of the plurality of user profiles. The processing circuitry is also configured to responsive to the identified user matching the profile, determine if the profile provides authorization to access the device. The processing circuitry is also configured to responsive to the profile providing authorization to the device, send a message to the device authorizing access to the device.
