While these capa- bilities enable a variety of novel applications, they also raise serious privacy concerns. We explore the vulnerability where attackers snoop on users by sniffing on their mobile phone sensors, such as the microphone, camera, and GPS receiver. We show that current mobile phone platforms inadequately protect their users from this threat. To provide better pri- vacy for mobile phone users, we analyze desirable uses of these sensors and discuss the properties of good privacy pro- tection solutions. Then, we propose a general framework for such solutions and discuss various possible approaches to implement the frameworkbs components. They have some suggestions, but feel the problems are deep and probably not completely solvable. -- Jerry --------------------------------------------------------------------- The Cryptography Mailing List Unsubscribe by sending "unsubscribe cryptography" to majordomo@metzdowd.com ----- End forwarded message ----- -- Eugen* Leitl <a href="http://leitl.org">leitl</a> http://leitl.org ______________________________________________________________ ICBM: 48.07100, 11.36820 http://www.ativel.com http://postbiota.org 8B29F6BE: 099D 78BA 2FD3 B014 B08A 7779 75B0 2443 8B29 F6BE
