Abstract
Described are various embodiments of a digital user authentication device, the device comprising: a user authentication interface operable to receive as input unique user identification data required to execute a digital user authentication process; a distinct physiological sensor operable to interface with the user to acquire a physiological signal from the user to automatically confirm a live user presence during said authentication process; and a digital data processor and computer-readable memory operable to execute computer-readable instructions to invoke said user authentication process based on said unique user identification data while confirming said live user presence based on said physiological signal such that a successful user authentication is only concluded upon confirmation of said live user presence during said authentication process. Various authentication, access authorization and revocation systems and processes are also described.
