  • Publication number: 20220171839
    Abstract: Techniques are described for enabling a user to access a secure system based on vital signs of the user that are collected by a wearable device worn by the user. The vital signs of the user may be used as an extra level of security when accessing the secure system. For example, a computing device may automatically validate that a user requesting access to a secure system is a person and not a robot based on receipt of vital signs of the user. As another example, a computing device may operate as a secure access badge that first analyzes vital signs of a user to confirm that the user is not in distress before sending an access signal to gain access to a secure system. In either example, the computing device may be a wearable device, or be paired to a wearable device to receive the vital signs.
