Abstract
A method including receiving, in a security device, a user object storing stored biometric data describing a biometric parameter of the user. Sensed biometric data is generating by sensing directly, using a sensor, the biometric parameter of the user. The stored biometric data is compared to the sensed biometric data. A confidence factor is determined using a first degree of trust, assigned to the object, combined with a second degree of match between the stored biometric data and the sensed biometric data. A user input is received indicating a desired activity. A risk factor is determined based on a combination of the confidence factor and the user input. The risk factor is compared to a selected pre-determined threshold. The user is granted a selected level of access to the security device from among different levels of access to the security device when the risk factor satisfies the selected pre-determined threshold.
