Jamming as Information: a Geometric Approach

TL;DR

This paper explores how precise jamming can inadvertently reveal information, using geometric methods to reconstruct routes based on limited data like distances and entry/exit times.

Contribution

It introduces geometric solutions for reconstructing linear routes from limited information, highlighting potential security vulnerabilities in jamming strategies.

Findings

Geometric methods can reconstruct routes from minimal data

Precise jamming may leak information to adversaries

Routes can be inferred from distance and timing data

Abstract

In this paper I discuss the kinds of information that can be extracted by our enemy if our jamming is too precise. I show geometric solutions for reconstructing linear routes given certain information about them, such as the shortest distance to a point or the times of entering and exiting a circle.
