1. A quantum reflection access credentialing (QRAC) system comprising:
an array of light sources, wherein the array of light sources includes at least two of the group consisting of a light emitting diode (LED), an infrared (IR) light, and an incandescent light; and
a processor, in electrical communication with the array of light sources, the processor for selecting the at leasttwo light sources from amongthe array of light sources, wherein the processor is further configured to:
following the selecting, initiate an access-credentialing session with a user, said user associated with a user face, by transmitting light from the selected one of the array of light sources on the user face;
receive, from the user face, reflections of the light;
capture the reflections as quantum laden bits of information;
form a user key based on the captured quantum laden bits of information;
compare the user key to a stored master key; and
when the user key matches the stored master key, authorize access for the user;
wherein the processor is further configured to, prior to authorizing access for the user, receive a second credentialing factor, said second credentialing factor for preventing authorization of access pending receipt and verification of the second credentialing factor; and
wherein the second credentialing factor is a measure of the ambient temperature proximal to a central processing unit of a mobile device associated with the user.
