ANONYMOUS COMMUNICATION OF DEVICES IN WIRELESS NETWORKS

摘要

A system and method for managing device communication anonymously in wireless networks. A controller in a device manages communication for the device. The device has a static device tag. The controller establishes a first key for the device. The controller establishes the first key in response to a first triggering event of the device. The first key is based on a first status of the device. The controller generates a first identifier of the device. The controller generates the first identifier by using a hashing technique. The controller uses the hashing technique on a combination of the first key and the static device tag. The first identifier is for identifying the device on a first wireless network. The controller provides a second status of the device. The controller provides the second status to the first wireless network. The controller couples the second status with the first identifier.

主权项

1. A method for managing device communication anonymously in wireless networks, comprising:
establishing, in response to a first triggering event of a device with a static device tag, a first key for the device, wherein the first key is based on a first status of the device; generating, by using a hashing technique on a combination of the first key and the static device tag, a first identifier of the device for identifying the device on a first wireless network; and providing, to the first wireless network, a second status of the device together with the first identifier.
