Utilizing a multi-frame signal (MFS) rather than a single-frame signal (SFS) for radio frequency fingerprint authentication (RFFA) shows the advantage of higher accuracy. However, previous studies have often overlooked the associated security threats in MFS-based RFFA. In this paper, we focus on the carrier-sense multiple access with collision avoidance channel and identify a potential security threat, in that an attacker may inject a forged frame into valid traffic, making it more likely to be accepted alongside legitimate frames.

However, these mobile crowdsourcing applications suffer from various inferential attacks based on mobile behavioral factors, such as location semantic, spatiotemporal correlation, etc. Unfortunately, most of the existing techniques protect the participant's location-privacy according to actual trajectories.
