Project

DI-P2SL

Funding: GÉANT

Status: finished

DI-P2SL is devoted to protecting people's location privacy against unauthorised localisation techniques based on Wi-Fi signal analysis. The project starts from the observation that 802.11 Channel State Information can be used to localise people with high precision even when they do not carry any device, simply by measuring how they alter the electromagnetic environment.

The research therefore focuses on CSI manipulation techniques, including integration into openwifi environments, to obstruct these sensing capabilities and make privacy intrusions harder. It is a clear example of cybersecurity research applied to wireless systems and privacy-by-design.
