Abstract
A method to implement multifactor authentication of a user may include performing biometric authentication of a person that bears the wearable electronic device and at least one of: performing knowledge-based authentication of the person or presenting an access control token of the wearable electronic device to an access reader that performs token-based authentication of the person. Performing biometric authentication may include receiving a first biometric signal generated by a wearable electronic device and determining a person-specific biometric characteristic of the person therefrom; comparing the person-specific biometric characteristic to a user-specific biometric characteristic of the user determined from a second biometric signal generated when the wearable electronic device was born by the user; and based on the comparing, determining a confidence level that the person is the user to determine a positive or negative authentication of the person as the user.
