Abstract
An electronic equipment comprises a sensor circuit operative to measure at least one electrical property of a user at a plurality of frequencies to thereby capture frequency-resolved electrical characteristics of the user. The electronic equipment comprises a processing circuit operative to perform a comparison between the frequency-resolved electrical characteristics of the user and reference characteristics to authenticate the user. The processing circuit is operative to perform an unlocking operation based on a result of the comparison.
