Abstract

Mobile devices with Global Positioning System enable various kinds of location information searches using location based services (LBS). Location information and query contents of searchers are privacy information. Privacy protection requires to hide location information and query contents of searchers from not only third parties such as eavesdroppers but also location database servers which answer queries. This paper focuses on privacy protection in nearest neighbor search. There are several researches of secure computation in nearest neighbor search for other than LBS. This paper proposes a new method of privacy protection in LBS. The method is based on Asymmetric Scalar-product Preserving Encryption. This paper also shows that the proposed method is faster and more secure than conventional privacy protection methods in LBS.
