Tracking people at railway stations and ultrasonic concert tickets (2)
This three-part post hilights two (new) technologies that may have an invisible impact on (y)our privacy. The first part was about Wifi and Bluetooth tracking on railway stations in The Netherlands. This second part shows a new technique to perform (concert) ticket registration using ultrasonic sound. In the final part, I will give my insights on these techniques, potential impact on personal privacy, and measures to prevent or minimise that impact.

The Privacy Coach and RFID (2)
Ten years ago, Van ‘t Hof led a research group to “provide insight into real life experiences with Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), draw a future scenario, and formulate challenges for this rapidly emerging technology”[VTHOF2007]. They looked at 24 use cases of RFID in various sectors: (public) transport, retail, passports and amusement parks, to name a few. In this blog post, you can find a couple of these case studies in three categories: shopping, transport and leisure.

The Privacy Coach and RFID
In the paper
(read on)The Privacy Coach: Supporting customer privacy in the Internet of Things, Broenink, Hoepman, Van ‘t Hof et al.[PC2010] propose a mobile phone application and architecture that helps consumers decide on their privacy regarding RFID cards or tags. Depending on how these RFID techniques are used, static objects can become part of an Internet of Things. We take a look at the current state of the art in RFID land. -
Small update
In the last few days, I have updated the literature page and wrote down some random thoughts as a fixed page. That page will be updated with more random thoughts as this internship progresses.
