1. An apparatus comprising:
a Long Range Low Power Wide Area Network (LoRaWAN) transceiver;
a processor; and
memory storing computer readable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the apparatus to:
receive a request to perform a transaction;
receive identification information of a user corresponding to the requested transaction;
determine additional information associated with the user;
detect an event associated with the requested transaction;
in response to detecting the event, request a LoRaWAN signal for authenticating the user;
receive a LoRaWAN signal from a user device separate from the apparatus;
generate a LoRaWAN signal based on at least some of the determined additional information associated with the user, the additional information including user-specific information, and wherein an amplitude of the LoRaWAN signal is determined based on a first portion of the user-specific information, and a wavelength of the LoRaWAN signal is determined based on a second portion of the user-specific information different from the first portion of the user-specific information;
determine whether the received LoRaWAN signal from the user device matches the generated LoRaWAN signal; and
in response to determining that the LoRaWAN signals match, perform a function associated with the detected event.
