Cloaking games in location based services
Proceedings of the 2008 ACM workshop on Secure web services, 2008A prototypical case of data anonymization is location anonymization: here the most common data anonymization technique - k -anonymity - corresponds to cloaking and consists in providing to the potential attacker a large granularity view of the user location.
