WhoFi is a system developed at the La Sapienza University in Rome:

»It tracks people by interpreting how their presence disrupts Wi‑Fi patterns, offering a potential alternative to conventional #biometric methods. […] WhoFi does not rely on cameras or physical contact. It needs only an existing Wi‑Fi network to sense human presence and movement.

The technology can operate in darkness, through walls, and even around obstacles, making it a discreet option compared to video #surveillance systems.«

The preprint of the study contains an interesting, but broken off remark at the end: »This work was supported by the “Smart unmannEd AeRial vehiCles for Human l«, which obviously refers to SEARCHER – Smart unmannEd AeRial vehiCles for Human likE monitoRing.

#SEARCHER is a #drone project by the #Italian Ministry of Defense. Its purpose is defined as »This Technological Research proposes to develop an innovative, effective, and efficient system, called SEARCHER, capable of providing Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (#UAVs) with basic intelligence enabling them to autonomously search for and recognize any entity.«

Just so you know why that drone seems so interested in "filming" one dull building wall after another.

Un team di ricercatori italiani ha ideato #WhoFi , la tecnologia che ti intercetta senza che tu abbia addosso un qualsiasi dispositivo.
Come funziona? Riassunto al massimo: questa tecnologia "fiuta" l'eco degli spostamenti (unici per ognuno di noi) dei nostri corpi mentre attraversiamo onde wi-fi.
L'articolo lo spiega molto meglio di così 😅

🚨 Neues Verfahren könnte Menschen allein per WLAN-Signal erkennen – ganz ohne Kamera, sondern durch minimale Funkstörungen, die beim Passieren des Körpers entstehen – einzigartig wie ein Fingerabdruck: https://www.heise.de/news/Biometrie-per-WLAN-Signalstoerungen-erlauben-Personenerkennung-und-Ueberwachung-10515620.html

WLAN dringt durch Wände, Körper lassen sich anders als Smartphones nicht „abschalten“. Eine ständige, unsichtbare #Überwachung wäre technisch möglich.

#TeamDatenschutz #WhoFi

a system claims to be able to identify individuals by analyzing Wi‑Fi signals.

The system tracks people by interpreting how their presence disrupts Wi‑Fi patterns

The technology works by examining Channel State Information, or CSI, which measures changes in Wi‑Fi signals caused by people and objects - and a deep neural network then interprets these disturbances as individual fingerprints.
