Abstract

This position paper explores privacy issues created by mobile and wireless Internet access. We consider the information about the user’s identity, location, and the serviced accessed that is necessarily or unnecessarily revealed observers, including the access network, intermediaries within the Internet, and the peer endpoints. In particular, we are interested in data that can be collected from packet headers and signaling messages and exploited to control the user’s access to communications resources and online services. We also suggest some solutions to reduce the amount of information that is leaked.
