Abstract
Recently, there is an increase interest in location sharing services in social networks. Behind the convenience brought by location sharing, there comes an indispensable security risk of privacy. Though many efforts have been made to protect user’s privacy for location sharing, they are not suitable for social network. Most importantly, little research so far can support user relationship privacy and identity privacy. Thus, we propose a new privacy protection protocol for location sharing in social networks. Different from previous work, the proposed protocol can provide perfect privacy for location sharing services. Simulation results validate the feasibility and efficiency of the proposed protocol.
