Novel perspectives on physical layer security and privacy in wireless communications
Advanced analysis of wireless signals can tell much more than one would expect. Even systems deemed "secure" in the classical sense might reveal sensitive information such as users' identities or current locations. Marco's research has evaluated novel security and privacy aspects of Bluetooth and Wi-Fi technologies. He proposed some frameworks to efficiently monitor and study Bluetooth connections in real-time. In addition, he contributed to developing several signal manipulation techniques to counter privacy attacks based on Wi-Fi sensing. The research outcomes are always validated using prototypes based both on software-defined radio platforms and commercial hardware.
