Tryst: The Case for Confidential Service Discovery

Research output: Contribution to conference › Paper › peer-review

Abstract

Local service discovery exposes sensitive information about identity, location, and relationships. We present empirical evidence that suggests the release of this information in wireless environments poses a real danger to our privacy. We then discuss the challenges in the design of Tryst, an architecture that enhances the confidentiality of existing service discovery mechanisms.
