Privacy-preserving pseudonyms for LoRaWAN
Résumé
LoRaWAN, a widely deployed LPWAN protocol, raises privacy concerns due to metadata exposure, particularly concerning the exploitation of stable device identifiers. For the first time in literature, we propose two privacy-preserving pseudonym schemes tailored for LoRaWAN: resolvable pseudonyms and sequential pseudonyms. We extensively evaluate their performance and applicability through theoretical analysis and simulations based on a large-scale real-world dataset of 71 million messages. We conclude that sequential pseudonyms are the best solution.
