Abstract
A method, computer system, and computer program product are provided for performing automated eavesdropping detection and remediation. A distance between a first and second wireless client device is determined with reference to a wireless access point based on wireless signals transmitted by the devices. A first and second signal loss are determined with reference to the first and second wireless client devices and the wireless access point. Material properties for any physical structures between the first and second wireless client devices are derived based on the signal losses. A sound attenuation is determined between the first and second wireless client devices based on the material properties. It is determined whether a first user of the first wireless client device can hear audio of a second user of the second wireless client device based on the sound attenuation determined between the first wireless client device and the second wireless client device.
