1. A personal digital ID device comprising:
- a crypto/cipher engine having at least one digital identifier;
a button accessible to a user of the personal digital ID device;
an imager to capture an image to be used for authentication;
a radio;
a hard coded program store; and
a processor coupled to the hard coded program store, the crypto/cipher engine, the button, the imager, and the radio, the processor configured to execute instructions retrieved from the hard coded program store and to receive an image and to set a radio communication parameter in response to user interaction with the button, and to provide authentication to a cloud service using the digital identifier and the radio, wherein the authentication is available only for a predetermined period of time after the user interaction with the button.
