Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques for performing multi-factor authentication (MFA) by utilizing user generated authenticating gestures. The techniques may include establishing and monitoring peer-to-peer communication links between user devices. The techniques may include monitoring channel properties for fluctuations in the channel properties associated with the user generated authenticating gesture passing through signals of the communication links. The techniques may further include comparing a gesture performed by a user to a predefined authenticating gesture. The techniques may include determining a pattern of fluctuations in the channel properties associated with the predefined authenticating gesture. The techniques may include determining a confidence score associated with comparing the gesture performed and the predefined authenticating gesture. The techniques may further include determining a proximity of the user and/or the gesture to the user device. The techniques may further include granting or denying the user based at least in part on the proximity and/or the comparison.

Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques for selecting network protocols using heatmaps. For instance, a system may receive radio frequency information from one or more sources located within an environment. The system may then generate heatmaps using the radio frequency information, where the heatmaps represent characteristics associated with different network protocols. The characteristics may include signal strengths, throughputs, data packet drop rates, data packet retry rates, and/or the like for various locations within the environment. A user device may then receive the heatmaps from the system. Using a location of the user device and the heatmaps, the user device may determine to communicate using a network protocol from the different network protocols. The user device may then establish a connection using the network protocol.
