Location cloaking for location privacy protection and location safety protection

open access: yes, 2018
Many applications today rely on location information, yet disclosing such information can present heightened privacy and safety risks. A person's whereabouts, for example, may reveal sensitive private information such as health condition and lifestyle. Location information also has the potential to allow an adversary to physically locate and destroy a ...

Privacy protection for users of location-based services

IEEE Wireless Communications, 2012
With the proliferation of mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets, location-based services are becoming increasingly popular. LBSs, albeit useful and convenient, pose a serious threat to users' privacy as they are enticed to reveal their locations to LBS providers via their queries for location-based information.

Location Privacy Protection on Social Networks

2011 IEEE Symposium on Computational Intelligence in Cyber Security (CICS), 2011
Location information is considered as private in many scenarios. Location information protection on social networks has not been paid much attention. In this paper, we extend our previous proposed location privacy protection approach on the basis of user messages in social networks.

Location Privacy Protection Considering the Location Safety

2015 18th International Conference on Network-Based Information Systems, 2015
With rapid advances in mobile communication technologies and continued price reduction of location tracking devices, location-based services (LBSs) are widely recognized as an important feature of the future computing environment. Though LBSs provide many new opportunities, the ability to locate mobile users also presents new threats - the intrusion of

Protecting location privacy using location semantics

Proceedings of the 17th ACM SIGKDD international conference on Knowledge discovery and data mining, 2011
As the use of mobile devices increases, a location-based service (LBS) becomes increasingly popular because it provides more convenient context-aware services. However, LBS introduces problematic issues for location privacy due to the nature of the service.

Protecting Location Privacy

Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, 2011
With the growing trend toward location-based services in transportation, the collection and the use of traveler data have grown rapidly. With the potential for multiagency sharing of data and an increased public-private partnerships, inconsistencies in how data are collected and shared may become of growing concern for users, particularly given the ...

A New Location Privacy Protection Algorithm

22017 IEEE International Conference on Computational Science and Engineering (CSE) and IEEE International Conference on Embedded and Ubiquitous Computing (EUC), 2017
The accuracy of user location information is inversely proportional to the user's privacy preserving degree k, and is proportional to quality of query service. In order to balance the conflict between privacy preserving security and query quality caused by the accuracy of location information, A clustering algorithm aiming at eliminating outliers based

LPPS: Location privacy protection for smartphones

2016 IEEE International Conference on Communications (ICC), 2016
Location-based service (LBS) is useful for many applications. However, LBS has raised serious concerns about users' location privacy. Utilizing the computation and storage capacity of smart phones, we propose a novel system architecture, called Location Privacy Protection for Smartphone (LPPS), to provide a privacy-preserving top-k query. LPPS does not
