1. A method of establishing a connection between wireless-enabled devices, comprising:
- collecting first biophysical signal data via a first wireless-enable device in response to receiving a user request to establish a wireless connection based on the matching of the first biophysical signal data and second biophysical signal data; and
establishing the wireless connection between the first wireless-enable device and a second wireless-enabled device based on a comparison of the first biophysical signal data and the second biophysical signal data collected at the second wireless-enabled device.
