Enhancing User Privacy in Wi-Fi Networks: Developing Robust Obfuscation Techniques Against Unauthorized Sensing
CurriculumTelecommunication Engineering
AdvisorFrancesco Gringoli
Research groupTo be confirmed
This research explores innovative strategies to enhance user privacy in Wi-Fi networks, focusing on the challenges posed by unauthorized sensing using Channel State Information (CSI). Currently, several methods, known as obfuscation techniques, are designed to protect user privacy. These techniques aim to distort signals while minimizing the impact on WLAN network performance. The goal of this study is to identify vulnerabilities in existing obfuscation methods and develop more effective, robust solutions to further improve privacy protection.
