Randomized and Changing MAC (RCM) represents a solution for en- hancing privacy in WLAN. However, the detailed study and analysis of address randomization schemes is critical. This will enable the definition of precise policy recommendations in order to maximize the effectiveness of the measure.
This work presents an analysis of RCM strategies, investigating their actual effectiveness in safeguarding user privacy within wireless local area networks (WLANs). The study delves into various techniques employed in RCM, evaluating their strengths and weaknesses in the context of privacy protection. A key aspect of this research involves an examination of potential methods to counteract RCM strategies, particularly focusing on the feasibility of derandomizing MAC addresses.
Through a combination of theoretical analysis and practical experi- mentation, this work uncovers several critical insights. It reveals that while RCM offers a significant improvement in privacy over static MAC addresses, it is not an infallible solution. The research highlights how in- formation contained in the first two layers of packets can be exploited to compromise the RCM, emphasizing the need for a comprehensive review of the frames format.
