Arraymetrics: Authentication Through Chaotic Antenna Array Geometries

­Advantages:

  • Enhanced security through a combination of cryptographic and physical keys with perturbed antenna arrays.
  • Improved accuracy in authentication, resulting in reduced false authentication rates and missed instances.
  • Signal adaptability for consistent authentication capabilities across varying signal-to-noise ratios and different environments.

Summary:

This groundbreaking technology addresses the rising demand for multi-factor authentication by combining cryptographic and physical keys. It introduces an innovative approach utilizing signal and antenna activation sequences, along with perturbed antenna array geometries, to enhance security measures. By manipulating these geometries, the technology introduces varying degrees of freedom that impact physical properties and their detection. The letter explores channel estimation for multiple authorized arrays, investigating accuracy in relation to signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and the number of authorized arrays. The impressive results showcase a false authentication rate of only 1% at 10 dB SNR and less than 1% missed authentication rates. With its robust performance, this technology holds significant potential for businesses across diverse industries, offering enhanced security solutions to protect sensitive data and ensure secure access to critical systems and resources in our interconnected and digitized world.
