1. A method comprising:
on a peripheral device that is an input device having a processor and a biometric sensor:
capturing biometric data using the biometric sensor of the peripheral device;
processing the captured biometric data using the processor of the peripheral device, wherein the processor of the peripheral device is separate from a processor of a host device to which the peripheral device is connected;
determining whether the processed biometric data meets one or more minimum quality criteria; and
in accordance with a determination that the processed biometric data meets the one or more minimum quality criteria, transmitting the processed biometric data to the host device for validation, wherein the host device is a display device that is communicably coupled to the peripheral device, wherein the peripheral device is external to the host device, wherein the host device receives the processed biometric data and validates the processed biometric data to determine whether to allow or deny an action.
