Wireless networks have become an integral part of our daily lives and lately there is increased concern about privacy and protecting the identity of individual users. In this paper we address the evolution of privacy measures in Wi-Fi probe…

Probe Requests are Wi-Fi management frames periodically sent by devices during network discovery. Tracking Probe Requests over time offers insights into movement patterns, traffic flows, and behavior trends, which are keys in applications…

This project is an exploration into analysing WiFi probe requests, a management frame described as part of the IEEE 802.11 protocol which publicly broadcasts the senders MAC address. The intention was to collect these probe requests to use…

Research has shown that counting WiFi packets called probe requests (PRs) implicitly provides a proxy for the number of people in an area. In this paper, we discuss a crowd counting system involving WiFi sensors detecting PRs over the air,…

Probe requests help mobile devices discover active Wi-Fi networks. They often contain a multitude of data that can be used to identify and track devices and thereby their users. The past years have been a cat-and-mouse game of improving…

This paper focuses on the creation of a new, publicly available Wi-Fi probe request dataset. Probe requests belong to the family of management frames used by the 802.11 (Wi-Fi) protocol. As the situation changes year by year, and technology…

Medium Access Control (MAC) address randomization is a key component for privacy protection in Wi-Fi networks. Current proposals periodically change the mobile device MAC addresses when it disconnects from the Access Point (AP). This way…

The vast adoption of Wi-Fi and/or Bluetooth capabilities in Internet of Things (IoT) devices, along with the rapid growth of deployed smart devices, has caused significant interference and congestion in the industrial, scientific, and…

The focus on privacy-related measures regarding wireless networks grew in last couple of years. This is especially important with technologies like Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, which are all around us and our smartphones use them not just for…

MAC address randomization is a privacy technique whereby mobile devices rotate through random hardware addresses in order to prevent observers from singling out their traffic or physical location from other nearby devices. Adoption of this…

Currently, many Wi-Fi access points are being installed in urban areas. This paper considers how this infrastructure can be used to assist criminal investigations and improve public safety. We propose a criminal investigation assistance…

A Wi-Fi-enabled device, or simply Wi-Fi device, sporadically broadcasts probe request frames (PRFs) to discover nearby access points (APs), whether connected to an AP or not. To protect user privacy, unconnected devices often randomize…

The rapid growth of the Internet of Things (IoT) necessitates employing privacy-preserving techniques to protect users' sensitive information. Even when user traces are anonymized, statistical matching can be employed to infer sensitive…

IPv6 is being more and more adopted, in part to facilitate the millions of smart devices that have already been installed at home. Unfortunately, we find that the privacy of a substantial fraction of end-users is still at risk, despite the…

In a number of practical scenarios a wireless device needs to mark its presence, for instance, to some access point. That enables the access point to assign the device its transmission slot or update the count of the network nodes. Many…

Collaborative inference among multiple wireless edge devices has the potential to significantly enhance Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications, particularly for sensing and computer vision. This approach typically involves a three-stage…

Mobile edge computing (MEC) has empowered mobile devices (MDs) in supporting artificial intelligence (AI) applications through collaborative efforts with proximal MEC servers. Unfortunately, despite the great promise of device-edge…

The fact that almost every person owns a smartphone device that can be precisely located is both empowering and worrying. If methods for accurate tracking of devices (and their owners) via WiFi probing are developed in a responsible way,…

In contrast to its wired counterpart, wireless communication is highly susceptible to eavesdropping due to the broadcast nature of the wireless propagation medium. Recent works have proposed the use of interference to reduce eavesdropping…

Large genomic datasets are now created through numerous activities, including recreational genealogical investigations, biomedical research, and clinical care. At the same time, genomic data has become valuable for reuse beyond their…
