    1. End-to-end encryption between the client and the deployment uses **Oblivious HTTP (OHTTP)**, so the load balancer and network only ever see ciphertext.

      【方法】OHTTP( oblivious HTTP)的使用确保了端到端加密,使得负载均衡器和网络只能看到密文。这种方法保护了数据在传输过程中的安全性,即使基础设施被 compromise,数据也不会泄露。这是安全通信的最佳实践。

      Wi-Fi Positioning Systems are used by modern mobile operating systems to geolocate themselves without the use of GPS. Both Google and Apple, for instance, run Wi-Fi Positioning Systems for Android and iOS devices to obtain their own location using nearby Wi-Fi access points as landmarks.

      In this work, we show that Apple's Wi-Fi Positioning System represents a global threat to the privacy of hundreds of millions of people. When iOS devices need to geolocate themselves using nearby Wi-Fi landmarks, they transmit a list of hardware identifiers to Apple and receive the geolocations of those access points in return. Unfortunately, this process can be replicated by an unprivileged adversary, who can recreate a copy of Apple's Wi-Fi geolocation database by requesting the locations of access points around the world with no prior knowledge.

      To make matters worse, we demonstrate that by repeatedly querying Apple's Wi-Fi Positioning System for the same identifiers, we can detect Wi-Fi router movement over time. In our data, we see evidence of home relocations, family vacations, and the aftermath of natural disasters like the 2023 Maui wildfires. More disturbingly, we also observe troop and refugee movements into and out of the Ukraine war and the impact of the war in Gaza.

      We conclude by detailing our efforts at responsible disclosure, and offer a number of suggestions for limiting Wi-Fi Positioning Systems' effects on user privacy in the future.

    1. let's start giving a bit of a recap of all these vulnerabilities that I talked about and be basically aligned to what we defined as intercept for example

      5 areas of vulnerabilities

      1. Intercept calls and texts
      2. Impersonate user identity
      3. Track users
      4. Conduct fraud
      5. DoS users or network

      For each of these types of attacks, vulnerabilities were found in RCS to exploit them.
