1. A unitary mobile apparatus for authentication comprising:
- a single short wireless transceiver,wherein said unitary mobile apparatus stores at least one code selected from the group consisting of;
a digital key, an encrypted digital key, user information;
wherein said unitary mobile apparatus can send said at least one code wirelessly to a second paired device within proximity,wherein said second paired device is previously paired to said unitary mobile apparatus;
an onboard biometric sensor means selected from the group consisting of;
a microphone, an accelerometer, a fingerprint scanner, an iris scanner;
wherein upon receipt of a request to provide biometrics information from said second paired device,said unitary mobile apparatus switches to biometrics capture mode,said unitary mobile apparatus captures a sample of biometric information selected from the group consisting of;
voice, movement in two-dimensional space, movement in three-dimensional space, a fingerprint, an iris scan;
wherein said biometric information is compared to at least one set of reference user biometric information;
wherein said biometric information is authenticated;
wherein said unitary mobile apparatus has a volume smaller than 30 cm3;
wherein said unitary mobile apparatus has an LCD smaller than 3 cm2;
wherein said unitary mobile apparatus has a memory smaller than 100 Mega Bytes,an onboard alarm,wherein upon detection of a drop of connection to said second paired device, said unitary mobile apparatus can issue an audible alarm.
