You’re right! This month’s MoMo is dedicated to that particular problem. Our guest lecturer will talk about Location Privacy in WiFi Netvorks.

On the following Mobile Monday, on March 2nd we have planned one lecture:
18:00 – 19:00 – Location Privacy in WiFi Networks
Toni will tell us something more about the huge popularity of mobile and portable wireless devices, including smartphones, tablets and laptops, has increased a widespread use of wireless technologies, such as WiFi. Unfortunately, the open nature of WiFi connectivity causes wireless stations to broadcast their unique WiFi fingerprint, i.e. SSIDs of their preferred wireless networks. Such information can be used for indooe tracking, localization and targeted services, which raises a number of potential anonymity issues.
Agenda:
- Evolution of tracking systems
- Anonymity Issues
- Basics of WiFi service discovery (active vs. passive)
- Implications of WiFi service discovery on user’s anonymity
- Advanced attacks on Preferred Network Lists (PNLs)
Toni Perković is employed as a senior researcher at FESB, University of Split, where he is actively involved in courses in the fields of cryptography and network security, wireless security, wireless sensor networks and human-computer interaction.
19:00 Networking at Caffe bar FESB
Networking is the most important part of MoMoST. Mobile developers can find mentorship, freelance projects, employment options, companies can find other companies, freelancers or developers for their projects.
Also, be sure to join our Facebook group!
