People's understanding, expectations and assumptions of 4G properties

People use mobile networks every day. However, little is known about how the general population’s understanding of mobile network properties. In this project, you will shed light on this matter and explore people’s privacy and security assumptions about the use of mobile networks. Potential questions include whether people know what traces they leave behind when using mobile networks, whether they are aware of what a provider knows about them, and whether they are concerned about the amount of information providers can collect. Similarly, you can address whether and how much trust they place in providers and how users' behavioural patterns are affected by their assumptions about mobile networks' security and privacy properties.

This project is co-supervised by Katharina Kohls.
