The recent proliferation of wireless local area networks (WLAN) has introduced new location privacy risks. An adversary controlling several access points could triangulate a client's position. In addition, interface identifiers uniquely identify each client, allowing tracking of location over time. We enhance location privacy through frequent disposal of a client's interface identifier. While not preventing triangulation per se, it protects against an adversary following a user's movements over time. Design challenges include selecting new interface identifiers, detecting address collisions at the MAC layer, and timing identifier switches to balance network disruptions against privacy protection. Using a modified authentication protocol, network operators can still control access to their network. An analysis of a public WLAN usage trace shows that disposing addresses before reassociation already yields significant privacy improvements.
