1. A method for identifying a user based on how the user grips a device with at least one of their hands, comprising:

  • receiving output signals from selective pressure sensors on a pressure-sensitive body of a device, the body having a plurality of pressure sensors distributed over the pressure-sensitive body, each pressure sensor is operative to provide an output signal proportional to a pressure applied by the user'"'"'s hands to the pressure-sensitive body at the area at which the pressure sensor is located;

    comparing the output signals received from the selective pressure sensors against stored pressure profile signatures; and

    determining the identity of the user based on a favorable comparison of the received output signals with a stored pressure profile signature associated with the user.
