Non-Intrusive Privacy-Preserving Approach for Presence Monitoring Based on WiFi Probe Requests.

ABSTRACT: Monitoring the presence and movements of individuals or crowds in a given area can provide valuable insight into actual behavior patterns and hidden trends. Therefore, it is crucial in areas such as public safety, transportation, urban planning, disaster and crisis management, and mass events organization, both for the adoption of appropriate policies and measures and for the development of advanced services and applications. In this paper, we propose a non-intrusive privacy-preserving detection of people's presence and movement patterns by tracking their carried WiFi-enabled personal devices, using the network management messages transmitted by these devices for their association with the available networks. However, due to privacy regulations, various randomization schemes have been impl
