Netidee goes Ultrasound!
(26.07.2017)
Förderjahr 2016 / Projekt Call #11 / ProjektID: 1701 / Projekt: SoniControl
The SoniControl prototype for the detection of secret ultrasonic communication is ready! In the last days we intensively worked on its finalization. The prototype runs in real-time and is able to detect different ultrasonic transmission protocols reliably. To test the detector, we encoded the text string "Netidee Rocks" by ultrasound and sent it through the air (see the image above for how the ultrasonic code looks like). It was detected immediately and precisely by our detector! Now we are going for its implementation in Android.. We will keep you updated!

Matthias Zeppelzauer is a senior researcher at the Institute of Creative\Media/Technologies at St. Pölten University of Applied Sciences (Austria) since 2013. He received his PhD in Computer Science from Vienna University of Technology in 2011 with highest distinction. His research focuses on multimedia signal processing and machine learning. He is an active member of the research community and acts as a reviewer for numerous high-impact conferences and journals. Matthias received several performance scholarships from the Vienna University of Technology and was awarded by the Austrian Computer Society for outstanding achievements in the area of pattern recognition. He is currently leading the NetIdee Project "SoniControl" which focuses on the development of a privacy preserving app for mobile devices that notifies and blocks ultrasonic tracking information. Recently, he got a second NetIdee Project "SoniTalk" funded which is focusing on the establishment of a secure and privacy-oriented protocol for ultrasonic communication.
