1. A smart ring, comprising:
a biometric sensing device configured to capture biometric data associated with a wearer of the smart ring;
a processor coupled to the biometric sensing device, wherein the processor is configured to:
determine that the wearer is an authorized user of the smart ring based at least in part on the biometric data; and
determine secure user data for the wearer based at least in part on determining that the wearer is the authorized user of the smart ring; and
a short-range transceiver configured to:
transmit, to a smart dock configured to provide power to the smart ring, the secure user data based at least in part on the processor determining that the wearer is the authorized user of the smart ring, in response to the smart ring being docked onto the smart dock, and based at least in part on the processor determining that the smart dock is associated with the smart ring;
transmit, to the smart dock, the biometric data while transmitting the secure user data, in response to the smart ring being docked onto the smart dock, and based at least in part on the processor determining that the smart dock is associated with the smart ring; and
receive, from the smart dock based at least in part on transmitting the biometric data to the smart dock, the secure user data previously transmitted to the smart dock in response to the smart ring being docked onto the smart dock.
 
8. A method comprises:
capturing, with a first biometric sensing portion of a smart ring, biometric data associated with a wearer of the smart ring;
determining, with a processor of the smart ring, that the wearer is an authorized user of the smart ring based at least in part on the biometric data;
determining, with the processor, secure user data for the wearer based at least in part on determining that the wearer is the authorized user of the smart ring;
transmitting, with a short-range transceiver of the smart ring to a smart dock configured to provide power to the smart ring, the secure user data based at least in part on determining that the wearer is the authorized user of the smart ring, in response to the smart ring being docked onto the smart dock, and based at least in part on determining that the smart dock is associated with the smart ring;
transmitting, with the short-range transceiver of the smart ring to the smart dock, the biometric data while transmitting the secure user data, in response to the smart ring being docked onto the smart dock, and based at least in part on determining that the smart dock is associated with the smart ring; and
receiving, with the short-range transceiver of the smart ring from the smart dock based at least in part on transmitting the biometric data to the smart dock, the secure user data previously transmitted to the smart dock in response to the smart ring being docked onto the smart dock.
