AUTHENTICATION VIA A DEVICE
First Claim
1. A system that facilitates authentication of a user in a surface computing environment, comprising:
- an authentication component that obtains authentication information from at least one device uniquely associated with a user, the authentication component determines an identity of the user based at least in part on the authentication information; and
a touch input component that associates a touch input with the user to ascertain if the touch input is authenticated.

Abstract
The claimed subject matter provides a system and/or a method that facilitates authentication of a user in a surface computing environment. A device or authentication object can be carried by a user and employed to retain authentication information. An authentication component can obtain the authentication information from the device and analyze the information to verify an identity of the user. A touch input component can ascertain if a touch input is authentication by associating touch input with the user. In addition, authentication information can be employed to establish a secure communications channel for transfer of user data.

17. A method that facilitates authenticated interactions with surface computing equipment in a surface computing environment, comprising:
-
obtaining authentication information from at least one authentication object uniquely coupled to a user; analyzing the authentication information to ascertain and verify an identity of at least one of the user or the authentication object; and employing at least one of the authentication information or location of the authentication object relative to a surface of the surface computing equipment to authenticate touch input received by the surface. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19)
