Abstract:
1. A non-transitory processor-readable medium storing code representing instructions to cause a processor to perform a process, the code comprising code to: send a signal configured to prompt a user of an electronic device to provide a personal identity credential sample upon access request, the electronic device having an in-circuit security system on a single integrated circuit that includes the processor; receive an authentication signal from an identity credential verification subsystem of the in-circuit security system when a processor of the identity credential verification subsystem matches the personal identity credential sample to at least one enrolled personal identity credential associated with the electronic device, the single integrated circuit including the processor of the identity credential verification subsystem; identify at least one security privilege associated with the personal identity credential sample in response to the authentication signal being received, the at least one security privilege stored within a memory of the in-circuit security system; and send a signal indicating that access is granted when the at least one security privilege provides access authorization and a security setting of the in-circuit security system allows the requested access.
