Abstract:
1. A device activated by biometric authentication, comprising: a biometric sensor configured to measure a plurality of different specific, internal, physiological characteristics of a user, said biometric sensor comprising, a memory module in communication with said biometric sensor comprising a biometric profile of an authorized user of said device, wherein the device is configured to select a first one and a second one of said plurality of specific, internal, sub-epidermal physiological characteristics of said user, emit an electromagnetic energy signal from said electromagnetic energy emitter to measure said first specific, internal, sub-epidermal physiological characteristic, and said second specific, internal, sub-epidermal physiological characteristic, receive a returned energy signal comprising said measurements of said first and second specific, internal, sub-epidermal physiological characteristics of said user, determine a first biometric marker of said user using said measurement of said first specific, internal, sub-epidermal physiological characteristic, determine a second biometric marker of said user using said measurement of said second specific, internal sub-epidermal physiological characteristic, and generate an authentication signal if said first biometric marker and said second biometric marker match a biometric profile of an authorized user of said device.
