Roadmap Project Mission and Summary:

Yale Privacy Lab is researching mobile app privacy, detecting trackers that violate privacy, and developing educational resources that empower mobile users to make informed choices. Through a series of workshops at Yale Law School and makerspaces MakeHaven and Yale CEID, we will grow our audience and base of contributors and supporters. Our training will feature solutions for avoiding mobile app trackers, allow users to detect and block ultrasonic tracking, and teach static and network analysis techniques.

Milestones:

1. September 14 – first "Tracking Mobile Trackers" workshop, featuring static analysis via Exodus
2. October (date TBD) – ultrasonic tracking workshop at MakeHaven, featuring PilferShush app
3. October 27 – announcement of first iteration of "Tracking Mobile Trackers" educational resource at MozFest 2018
4. November – collect audience feedback via the Web and in-person discussions at Yale
5. November 14 – network analysis workshop at Yale CEID, featuring PiRogue devices and PiPrecious
6. December/January – second iteration of "Tracking Mobile Trackers" education resource, based upon audience feedback

Tasks for each milestone:

1. Publicize event via social media, the Web, and posters around Yale and New Haven. Develop and publish presentation materials under CC BY-SA 4.0
2. Plan logistics of event with MakeHaven and publicize. Work with PilferShush developer Matt Adair on documentation and graphics. Develop and publish presentation materials under CC BY-SA 4.0
3. Travel plans for Sean O'Brien to London. Coordinate with MozFest facilitators from the Privacy and Security group. Develop and publish materials under CC BY-SA 4.0
