The present technology relates to a communication device, a communication method, and a program that enable improvement in security of electric field communication. Biological information about a user is detected in accordance with an action of the user, and electric field communication being performed by an electric field communication unit is controlled in accordance with the biological information. The present technology can be applied to communication devices that perform electric field communication using an electric field, such as intra-body communication using the human body as a communication medium.
