1. A method of authenticating an individual in a workspace, the method comprising:
receiving input data relating to one or more traits of an individual, said input data including physiological sensor data collected from at least one of a garment textile worn by the individual, a seating textile and/or a tabletop textile within said workspace;
for each of the one or more traits of the individual, determining, by an authentication unit, a confidence ratio indicative of the likelihood that the individual is a particular user, wherein said determining includes determining a first confidence ratio for an electrocardiogram (ECG) for said individual determined based on said sensor data from said garment textile, and wherein said determining includes determining a second confidence ratio for an ECG for said individual determined based on said sensor data from at least one of said seating textile and said tabletop textile;
transmitting the respective confidence ratios for each of the one or more traits of the individual to a confidence ratio aggregation unit, the confidence ratio aggregation unit configured to determine a final confidence ratio for the individual based on the respective confidence ratios; and
determining an authentication decision for the individual based on the final confidence ratio.
