CLIENT-DRIVEN RANDOMIZED AND CHANGING MEDIA ACCESS CONTROL (MAC) ADDRESS (RCM) MECHANISM

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18817942 titled 'CLIENT-DRIVEN RANDOMIZED AND CHANGING MEDIA ACCESS CONTROL (MAC) ADDRESS (RCM) MECHANISM



Original Abstract Submitted

Techniques are provided for client-driven Randomized and Changing Media Access Control (MAC) address (RCM) mechanisms. In one example, a wireless client is configured to wirelessly communicate with a wireless network. The wireless client obtains data relating to a level of security for one or more MAC addresses of the wireless client. Based on the data, the wireless client computes a score that represents the level of security for the one or more MAC addresses. Using the score, the wireless client determines when or how frequently to rotate the one or more MAC addresses. Based on determining when or how frequently to rotate the one or more MAC addresses, the wireless client rotates the one or more MAC addresses.
