Privacy in Sensmos — what the network sees, what stays on your devices

Here is exactly what the network can and cannot see. Nothing on this page is a promise — each line points at the code that enforces it.

What the network sees

  • Path metrics: latency, jitter, packet loss, reachability of probe targets. That is the measurement; the node never inspects traffic on your LAN.
  • Your node's readings if you publish them (own sensors are private unless you make them public).
  • Metadata of LoRa frames (which node a frame was for, when, from which listener) — never the content.

What stays with you

  • Identity: a secp256k1 key pair generated on the board. Ownership: your wallet address. There is no user table, no e-mail, no account.
  • The tunnel key: written by your phone onto the node over your Wi-Fi. The server cannot open a tunnel into your LAN.
  • LoRa keys: the key phrase for your sensors lives on the node (and the sensors). The server routes encrypted frames blind.
  • Your exact position: used once for attestation; the public map shows a position shifted by 200–800 m. Ghost mode removes the node from the map entirely (it keeps earning, less).

Open by default

The firmware is public; the node's local page (its LAN IP) shows what it is sending right now. Web analytics on this site are cookie-less and do not store IPs.
