1. An apparatus for use with an eye, comprising:
- an enclosure material;
an accommodation actuator disposed within the enclosure material, wherein the accommodation actuator is coupled to adjust a level of accommodation of the apparatus;
a controller disposed within the enclosure material, wherein the controller includes one or more integrated circuits with associated logic that when executed by the controller causes the controller to perform operations including;
exchanging a wireless communication between the apparatus and an auxiliary device via communication logic while the enclosure material is in contact with the eye of a user; and
performing a cryptographic operation via cryptographic logic to encrypt or decrypt data included in the wireless communication, wherein the data included in the wireless communication includes information describing the level of accommodation provided to the apparatus by the accommodation actuator.
