1. A personal digital ID card comprising:
- a crypto/cipher engine having at least one digital identifier;
a button accessible to a user of the personal digital ID card;
a motion sensor to allow for user authentication when the personal digital ID card undergoes a predefined motion;
a near field radio to communicate with a point-of-sale device;
a non-near field radio to communicate with a mobile phone; and
a processor coupled to the crypto/cipher engine, the button, the motion sensor, the near field radio, and the non-near field radio, the processor configured to validate a user through motion of the personal digital ID card and to turn on the non-near field radio for a predetermined duration for communication with the mobile phone in response to user interaction with the button;
wherein the crypto/cipher engine makes available the digital identifier to perform authentication with a cloud service in communication with the mobile phone while the non-near field radio is on, and the crypto/cipher engine makes available the digital identifier using the near field radio to perform authentication with the point-of-sale device.

9. A personal digital ID card comprising:
-
a crypto/cipher engine having at least one digital identifier; a battery; a button accessible to a user of the personal digital ID card; a motion sensor to allow for user authentication when the personal digital ID card undergoes a predefined motion; a near field radio to communicate with a point-of-sale device; a non-near field radio to communicate with a mobile phone; and a processor coupled to the crypto/cipher engine, the button, the motion sensor, the battery, the near field radio, and the non-near field radio, the processor configured to validate a user through motion of the personal digital ID card and to turn on the non-near field radio for a predetermined duration for communication with the mobile phone in response to a first user interaction with the button and to report a battery charge level in response to a second user interaction with the button; wherein the crypto/cipher engine makes available the digital identifier to perform authentication with a cloud service in communication with the mobile phone while the non-near field radio is on, and the crypto/cipher engine makes available the digital identifier using the near field radio to perform authentication with the point-of-sale device. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
