Privacy self-correlation privacy-preserving scheme in LBS by Weihao LI, Jin CAO, Hui LI

“…The prevalence of mobile intelligent terminals gives the location-based service (LBS) more opportunities to enrich mobile users’ lives.However,mobile users enjoy the convenience with the cost of personal privacy.The side information and mobile user’s recent requirement records were considered,which were obtained or stored by the service provider.Based on the existence of recent requirement records,adversary can employ the inference attack to analysis mobile user’s personal information.Therefore,two schemes were proposed,including of basic privacy self-correlation privacy-preserving scheme (Ba-2PS) and enhanced privacy self-correlation privacy-preserving scheme(En-2PS).In En-2PS,the privacy-preserving scheme was designed from two dimensions of aspects of time factor and query region,which increased the uncertainty inferring out the real information.Finally,the privacy analysis was illustrated to proof En-2PS’s privacy degree,then the performance and privacy evaluation results indicate that En-2PS is effective and efficient.…”
