Abstract
Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods that authenticate a user's identity by generating a representation of the eye (e.g., a signature) using coherence-based measurement (e.g., optical coherence tomography (OCT)). The coherence-based measurement may provide sub-surface information, e.g., depth, cross section, or a volumetric model of the eye, based on reflections/scattering of light, e.g., using relatively long wavelength light to penetrate into the eye tissue.
