ABSTRACT
The rapid development of the integration of cloud computing and location-based services have drawn so much attention currently. With the increasing number of users who own smart phones, significant amount of data that describe user surrounding information and interests have become widely available. However, significant attentions have been raised on the privacy issues. The existing approaches mainly focus on a centralized approach which brings tremendous security concerns. To prevent a centralized query processor from being attached by malicious hackers, we propose a decentralized approach to protect the sensitive location information of users who request for location-based services. Our system provides an approximate computing and an exact computing mechanism for different scenarios and requirements.

Feeling-based location privacy protection for location-based services
CCS '09: Proceedings of the 16th ACM conference on Computer and communications securityAnonymous location information may be correlated with restricted spaces such as home and office for subject re-identification. This makes it a great challenge to provide location privacy protection for users of location-based services. Existing work ...
Location Privacy Protection Scheme Based on Location Services
ICCNS '19: Proceedings of the 2019 9th International Conference on Communication and Network SecurityLocation-based services (LBS) in the mobile internet applications are very important and provide a great convenience. However, at the same time it brings the threat of privacy leak. For location services, a location privacy protection scheme is proposed,...
Resilient Privacy Protection for Location-Based Services through Decentralization
Location-Based Services (LBSs) provide valuable services, with convenient features for mobile users. However, the location and other information disclosed through each query to the LBS erodes user privacy. This is a concern especially because LBS ...
