Abstract

A method for protecting location information in wireless communication networks, wherein the communication network includes an access point (AP), as well as nodes (Ni) associated with the access point (AP), is - with regard to a secure transmission of packets over the wireless medium - characterized in that an individual broadcast link - channel (Ci) - is generated between the access point (AP) and each of the nodes (Ni), wherein the channels (Ci) are each defined by a channel-specific key (Ki), and wherein the headers or parts of the headers of packets to be sent between the access point (AP) and the nodes (Ni) are encrypted with the corresponding key (Ki) before their transmission.
