    Researchers identify people through ordinary Wi-Fi routers with 99.5% accuracy — technique works with standard Wi-Fi routers

    Security researchers have developed a new technique called BFId that can identify individuals using standard Wi-Fi routers with 99.5% accuracy. This method exploits unencrypted beamforming feedback information (BFI) broadcast by Wi-Fi devices, requiring no access to the network and working even if the person has no wireless device. The researchers highlight that this technology, while powerful, poses significant privacy risks and advocate for stronger safeguards before Wi-Fi sensing becomes widely adopted. AI

    AMAR: Lightweight Attention-Based Multi-User Activity Recognition from Wi-Fi CSI

    Researchers have developed AMAR, a novel attention-based framework for recognizing multiple human activities simultaneously using Wi-Fi channel state information (CSI). This system addresses the challenge of overlapping CSI patterns in multi-user environments by formulating activity recognition as a set prediction problem. AMAR employs a transformer-based architecture with specialized query embeddings for activity detection and an edge-cloud split design to reduce bandwidth requirements, achieving significant improvements in prediction accuracy and occupancy estimation error compared to existing methods.
