"Researchers from La Sapienza University of Rome have developed 'WhoFi,' a biometric identifier based on how the human body interacts with Wi-Fi signals for re-identification."
"The identification method derived from Wi-Fi Channel State Information can consistently track individuals without the need for a phone as they pass through different networks."
"This technology enables the potential for improved applications in surveillance, as Wi-Fi signals can accurately ascertain the presence of individuals in various locations."
"With the approval of Wi-Fi Sensing, the Wi-Fi Alliance has shown a commitment to evolving Wi-Fi beyond just data transmission, exploring its capabilities in human sensing."
Researchers at La Sapienza University of Rome have created a biometric identifier called 'WhoFi' that utilizes Wi-Fi Channel State Information to re-identify individuals based on their body's interference with Wi-Fi signals. This technique allows for tracking a person across various network locations, even without a personal device. As Wi-Fi technology evolves, its sensing capabilities extend beyond mere data transfer to include applications such as surveillance. The Wi-Fi Alliance's endorsement of Wi-Fi Sensing represents a significant advancement in the potential uses of Wi-Fi for detecting human presence and movements.
