Systems, methods, and use-cases of multi-modal authentications and content distribution are presented. A content consumer can capture a multi-modal digital representation of multiple objects where a juxtaposition of features derived from the digital representation can be used to recognize that at least some of the objects are a valid authentication object. Upon authentication, an authentication agent determines a content access level for content associated with the corresponding to the juxtaposition. The content can then be presented on an electronic device, possibly within a secure virtual machine, according to the content access level.
