Abstract: With the proliferation of WiFi devices, WiFi-based identification technology has garnered attention in the security domain and has demonstrated initial success. Nonetheless, when untrained illegitimate users appear, the classifier tends to categorize them as if they were trained users. In response to this issue, researchers have proposed identity legitimacy authentication systems to identify illicit users, albeit only applicable to individual users. In this article, we propose a multi-user legitimacy authentication system based on WiFi, termed Multi-WiIR. Leveraging WiFi signals, the system captures users’ walking patterns to ascertain their legitimacy. The core concept entails training a multi-branch deep neural network, designated WiIR-Net, for feature extraction of individual users. Binary classifiers are then applied to each user, and legitimacy is established by comparing the model’s output to predefined thresholds, thus facilitating multi-user legitimacy authentication. Moreover, the study experimentally investigated the impact of the number of legitimate individuals on accuracy rates. The results demonstrated that The Multi-WiIR system showed commendable performance with low latency, being capable of conducting legitimacy recognition in scenarios involving up to four users, with an accuracy rate reaching 85.11%.
