1. An authentication system, comprising:
one or more access points, each access point of the one or more access points configured to:
extract, from one or more beam patterns generated via a client device, a beam feature associated with the client device; and
transmit the beam feature; and
a server communicatively coupled to the one or more access points and including at least one database for storing known beam features, the server configured to:
receive the beam feature associated with the client device from at least one access point of the one or more access points; and
authenticate the client device in response to the received beam feature matching a known beam feature stored in the at least one database.
