Private Location Based Query Using Third Party Identity Diffuser: a Review

Megha K. Chavda, Dr. Vipul Vekariya

Abstract :

Privacy Concerns in LBS exist on two fronts: location privacy and query Privacy. In this paper we investigate issues related to query privacy. In particular, we aim to prevent the LBS server from correlating the service attribute. An important privacy issue in Location Based Services (LBS) is to hide a user’s identity while still provide quality location based services. Recently, highly accurate positioning devices enable us to provide various types of location–based services. On the other hand, because position data obtained by such devices include deeply personal information, protection of location privacy is one of the most significant issues of location–based services. Therefore, we propose a technique to anonymize position data. In our proposed technique, the personal user of a location–based service generates several false position data (dummies) sent to the service provider with the true position data of the user. Because the service provider cannot distinguish the true position data, the user’s location privacy is protected. But from this method traffic will be increase. As a solution, a diffuser can be placed between mobile unit location based services. Diffuser will send dummy locations to LBS and true data exchange will only be happen between mobile unit and diffuser. The traffic between mobile unit and diffuser will be decrease.
