1. An authentication apparatus, comprising:
- a power generation unit configured to generate power from an element selected from the group consisting of heat of a surface of a skin, a difference in ion concentration between a body site and another site or a body surface, sweat on the body surface, and combinations thereof;
an authentication unit configured to perform authentication by using power generation information of the power generation unit as electric power for performing the authentication and comparing the power generation information with predetermined power generation information, wherein the power generation information is selected from the group consisting of a waveform of a voltage generated by the power generation unit, a waveform level, a time interval between multiple waveforms, and combinations thereof; and
a memory configured to record the predetermined power generation information.
