PR 1561 introduces WiFi Veil, codenamed VEIL, for Verifiable Emission-shaping for Identity-Leakage prevention. The idea: shape a device's own outgoing WiFi beamforming feedback so an unauthorized passive sniffer can't re-identify people nearby, while a legitimate receiver holding a shared session key still sees a…
The theme worth remembering here is evidence discipline. The PR description states every defense number is labeled synthetic pending real evidence, and the work includes a CI honesty guard — a check apparently designed to stop unverified or inflated performance claims from slipping into the record as fact. For a…
The scope also spans several architecture decision records — one covering the privacy shield's compliant waveform design, one on a threat-modeling harness, and one on the end-to-end hardware implementation path — plus survey and threat-model documentation. That spread signals this isn't a quick patch; it's the…
