However, due to high cost and limited availability, COTS devices are restricted to small scale deployment. To overcome this issue, researchers propose using Espressif ESP32, an inexpensive single antenna microcontroller equipped with WiFi and Bluetooth modules capable of capturing detailed WiFi Channel State Information (CSI). This paper explores and extends the application of ESP32 by proposing a model for device-less and touch-less BUA systems using a simple client--server architecture. The system identifies users as they perform day-to-day activities by recognizing behavioural and physiological characteristics using LSTM---a deep learning approach. Furthermore, the paper describes the Python tool developed for parsing and filtering WiFi CSI data.", isbn="978-981-16-7618-5" }
