1. A first device, comprising:
- at least one processor; and
storage that is not a transitory signal, that is accessible to the at least one processor, and that comprises instructions executable by the at least one processor to;
present a user interface (UI) on a display, the UI comprising an option that is selectable to set the first device to perform one or more actions pertaining to authentication of an apparatus based on identification of one or more electrical characteristics associated with the apparatus;
based on selection of the option, identify a first electrical characteristic associated with the apparatus that is unique to the apparatus; and
perform the one or more actions pertaining to authentication of the apparatus based on the identification of the unique first electrical characteristic;
wherein the apparatus is the first device, and wherein the unique first electrical characteristic is identified based on the first device executing predetermined software code in conjunction with a predetermined electrical component on the first device.

Abstract
In one aspect, a first device includes a processor and storage accessible to the processor. The storage bears instructions executable by the processor to analyze an electrical characteristic associated with an apparatus and perform one or more actions pertaining to authentication of the apparatus based on the analysis of the electrical characteristic.

10. A method, comprising:
-
presenting a user interface (UI) on a display, the UI comprising an option that is selectable to enable a setting for an apparatus to perform one or more actions pertaining to authentication of a device based on analysis of one or more electrical characteristics associated with the device; based on the setting being enabled, analyzing a first electrical characteristic associated with and unique to the device at least in part by analyzing a unique electrical pattern with which predetermined packets are received from the device; and performing the one or more actions pertaining to authentication of the device based on the uniqueness of the first electrical characteristic. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. An apparatus, comprising:
-
at least one computer readable storage medium (CRSM) that is not a transitory signal, the at least one computer readable storage medium comprising instructions executable by at least one processor of a first device to; present a user interface (UI) on a display, the UI comprising an option that is selectable to enable a setting for the first device to authenticate a second device based on identification of electrical characteristic information pertaining to the second device; based on the setting being enabled, identify unique first electrical characteristic information pertaining to the second device at least in part by identifying a unique first micro-pattern pertaining to data received by the second device; and use the uniqueness of the first electrical characteristic information to authenticate the second device at least in part by using the unique first micro-pattern to authenticate the second device based on the first micro-pattern matching an expected micro-pattern at least within a tolerance. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23)
