Issued August 22, 2017. }, date = { 2017-08-22 }, OPTmonth = { August 22, }, OPTyear = { 2017 }, urla = { text(google) }, abstract = { Wireless wearable authenticators (WWAs) are provided using attachment to confirm user possession of the WWA. A user is authenticated by receiving authentication information from a wireless, wearable authentication (WWA) device of the user. The authentication information indicates whether the user has substantially continuously worn the WWA since a prior session where the user proved his or her identity to a relying device while wearing the WWA. The user is authenticated based on an evaluation of the authentication information. The authentication information comprises, for example, a credential .kappa. and a current session label J. A value of the current session label J can provide the indication of whether the user has substantially continuously worn the WWA since a prior session where the user proved his or her identity to a relying device while wearing the WWA. } }
