First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of persistent authentication, the method comprising:
- receiving an enablement indication in response to a first physical change to the wearable device;
activating the wearable device in response to the enablement indication;
granting a permission at least in response to the activation of the wearable device, the permission being configured to provide authorization for performing at least one action;
utilizing the permission to cause the at least one action to be performed;
receiving a disablement indication in response to a second physical change to the wearable device;
deactivating the wearable device in response to a disablement indication, the disablement indication comprising at least one selected from the group consisting of a physical contact or separation, a physical displacement, an electrical signal, a magnetic signal, and absence of a biometric characteristic; and
revoking the permission in response to the deactivation of the wearable device.

Abstract
The invention relates to a method and wearable device for persistent authentication using the wearable device. The wearable device is activated in response to an enablement indication, the enablement indication being generated in response to a physical change in the wearable device. A permission is granted in response to authorization data. The wearable device is deactivated in response to a disablement indication, the disablement indication being generated in response to a physical change in the wearable device. The permission may also be revoked.

10. A wearable device configured for persistent authentication, the wearable device comprising:
-
an enablement component, configured to; receive an enablement indication in response to a first physical change to the wearable device; and receive a disablement indication in response to a second physical change to the wearable device; and processing circuitry having a processor and a memory, the memory storing programmatic code that, when executed by the processor, configures the processor to; activate the wearable device in response to the enablement indication; grant a permission at least in response to the activation of the wearable device, the permission being configured to provide authorization for performing at least one action; utilize the permission; deactivate the wearable device in response to the disablement indication, the disablement indication comprising at least one selected from the group consisting of a physical contact or separation, a physical displacement, an electrical signal, a magnetic signal, and absence of a biometric characteristic; and revoke the permission in response to the deactivation of the wearable device. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
