Abstract
A method is provided for identifying or authenticating an object. The method includes vibrating the object at a plurality of frequencies. The vibrations from the object are sensed at each of the plurality of frequencies using an accelerometer. A vibration profile of the object is generated using the sensed vibrations. The generated vibration profile is then compared to a stored vibration profile. It is determined if the generated vibration profile matches the stored vibration profile. A match indicates that the object has been identified or authenticated. In another embodiment, an object capable of implementing the method is provided. In another embodiment, the object may include a replaceable accessary. In this case, the initial and generated vibration profiles may be created with the replacement accessary attached to the object. A match of the generated and initial vibration profiles indicates that the replaceable accessary is authentic.
