• Geolocation spoofing attack Our work at WiSec 2015 [17] shows how it is possible to manipulate the geolocation information of a single device and how to exploit this information as a side channel to identify the owner of the device on geottaged platforms such as social networks.

• Extraction of sementical information from Wi-Fi network identifiers Methods based on text similarity metrics can be used to infer user's interests based on the list of their preferred networks. We present in [23] a method identifying the physical entity (shop, restaurant, company ...) associated to Wi-Fi networks identifiers (SSID).
