How does anonymity in open 5G networks affect people’s online behaviour?
In this project, you will explore the role that anonymity can play in using (mobile) networks. In particular, you explore how behavioural patterns are expected to be affected by anonymous usage.
People’s understanding, expectations and assumptions of 4G properties
In this project, you will explore people’s privacy and security assumptions about the use of mobile networks.
The power of open 5G providers
A core idea of the open 5G network project is that everyone can contribute to this network as a provider by obtaining and running the required hardware. In this project, you will explore providers' power in such open 5G networks.
The usability of identity-based encryption
Although email encryption has been around for decades, it is still not widely used.
When users are providers
In this study, you explore the experience, concerns, and motivational factors that are at play when individuals decide to share their network with others.
Which factors determine whether people use an open 5G network?
This project will identify and map out the factors influencing whether potential end-users will take advantage of an open 5G network.
Which factors motivate potential providers to contribute to an open 5G network?
In this project, you identify the factors that influence whether potential providers contribute to an open 5g network.
The effects of dark patterns
In this project, you study the effect of design elements in apps and websites that can make users do things they do not wish to do (so-called dark patterns) on users' behaviour.
