Name: Detecting Unwanted Location Trackers (DULT)
--[ this entry is a scheduling placeholder for possible WG ]--
Description
The goal of the DULT WG is to standardize an application protocol for information exchange between location-tracking accessories and nearby devices, along with actions that these accessories and devices should take once unwanted tracking is detected. This protocol is intended to protect people against being unknowingly tracked. The intent of this WG is to make it easier for arbitrary devices to detect unwanted tracking by these accessories. The protocols and interactions between devices may be limited to certain states or modes, such as the accessory being separated from a paired/owner device.
DULT BoFs were previously convened at IETF 117 and IETF 118.
A consensus check of a refined charter for a proposed DULT WG is currently underway.
