Download or read book Privacy in Location Based Applications written by Claudio Bettini and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-07-30 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Location-based applications refer to those that use location data in a prominent manner. Location data can be very effective for service provisioning, enabling the birth of a new generation of information services. Although data security and privacy issues have been extensively investigated in several domains, current techniques are not readily applicable to location-based applications. Conciliating the effectiveness of these applications with privacy concerns constitutes a unique challenge, mostly due to the semantic richness of location and time information. Research in this field involves aspects of spatio-temporal reasoning, query processing, system security, statistical inference, and more importantly, anonymization techniques. Several research groups have been working in recent years to identify privacy attacks and defense techniques in this domain. This state-of-the-art survey provides a solid ground for researchers approaching this topic to understand current achievements through a common categorization of privacy threats and defense techniques. This objective is particularly challenging considering the specific (and often implicit) assumptions that characterize the recent literature on privacy in location-based services. The book also illustrates the many facets that make the study of this topic a particularly interesting research subject, including topics that go beyond privacy preserving transformations of service requests, and include access control, privacy preserving publishing of moving object data, privacy in the use of specific positioning technology, and privacy in vehicular network applications.

Download or read book Handbook of Mobile Data Privacy written by Aris Gkoulalas-Divanis and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-10-26 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook covers the fundamental principles and theory, and the state-of-the-art research, systems and applications, in the area of mobility data privacy. It is primarily addressed to computer science and statistics researchers and educators, who are interested in topics related to mobility privacy. This handbook will also be valuable to industry developers, as it explains the state-of-the-art algorithms for offering privacy. By discussing a wide range of privacy techniques, providing in-depth coverage of the most important ones, and highlighting promising avenues for future research, this handbook also aims at attracting computer science and statistics students to this interesting field of research. The advances in mobile devices and positioning technologies, together with the progress in spatiotemporal database research, have made possible the tracking of mobile devices (and their human companions) at very high accuracy, while supporting the efficient storage of mobility data in data warehouses, which this handbook illustrates. This has provided the means to collect, store and process mobility data of an unprecedented quantity, quality and timeliness. As ubiquitous computing pervades our society, user mobility data represents a very useful but also extremely sensitive source of information. On one hand, the movement traces that are left behind by the mobile devices of the users can be very useful in a wide spectrum of applications such as urban planning, traffic engineering, and environmental pollution management. On the other hand, the disclosure of mobility data to third parties may severely jeopardize the privacy of the users whose movement is recorded, leading to abuse scenarios such as user tailing and profiling. A significant amount of research work has been conducted in the last 15 years in the area of mobility data privacy and important research directions, such as privacy-preserving mobility data management, privacy in location sensing technologies and location-based services, privacy in vehicular communication networks, privacy in location-based social networks, privacy in participatory sensing systems which this handbook addresses.. This handbook also identifies important privacy gaps in the use of mobility data and has resulted to the adoption of international laws for location privacy protection (e.g., in EU, US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Singapore), as well as to a large number of interesting technologies for privacy-protecting mobility data, some of which have been made available through open-source systems and featured in real-world applications.

Book excerpt: Location-aware computing is a technology that uses the location (provides granular geographical information) of people and objects to derive contextual information. Today, one can obtain this location information free of cost through smartphones. Smartphones with location enabled applications have revolutionized the ways in which people perform their activities and get benefits from the automated services. It especially helps to get details of services in less time; wherever the user may be and whenever they want. The need for smartphones and location enabled applications has been growing year after year. Nowadays no one can leave without their phone; the phone seemingly becomes one of the parts of the human body. The individual can now be predicted by their phone and the identity of the phone becomes the person’s identity. Though there is a tremendous need for location-enabled applications with smartphones, the debate on privacy and security related to location data has also been growing. Privacy and Security Challenges in Location Aware Computing provides the latest research on privacy enhanced location-based applications development and exposes the necessity of location privacy preservation, as well as issues and challenges related to protecting the location data. It also suggests solutions for enhancing the protection of location privacy and therefore users’ privacy as well. The chapters highlight important topic areas such as video surveillance in human tracking/detection, geographical information system design, cyberspace attacks and warfare, and location aware security systems. The culmination of these topics creates a book that is ideal for security analysts, mobile application developers, practitioners, academicians, students, and researchers.

Download or read book Privacy for Location based Services on Smartphones written by James Nathaniel Spargo and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, mobile devices and smartphones enabled with GPS and Internet access have become extremely common. People use these devices as they would a personal computer for easy access to information. Location Based Services (LBS) provide customized information based on a user's geographic location that has been retrieved from a dedicated spatial database such as Google Places, Yahoo's Local Search Web Services and Yelp.com. This information can include nearby hotels and restaurants, gas stations, banks or other Points of Interest (POIs). Since most search engines and databases are known to store previous queries in order to improve future search results and other data analysis on previous search queries, many researchers have expressed concerns and proposed solutions to protect a user's location privacy. Research has shown that a significant amount of information, such as medical conditions, political or religious affiliations and more can be inferred based on a person's previous location tracks. Many methods proposed by researchers rely on the use of trusted third parties such as Anonymizing Servers, other nearby mobile devices, or the LBS itself. CAP (Context-Aware Privacy), introduced in 2008 by A. Pingley et. al., is a system that was designed to protect a user's location without having to rely on a trusted third party or interfere with the operation of the LBS. A desktop prototype was made, yet it was never implemented on a mobile device or smartphone until now. Preliminary tests of CAP with lower privacy settings proved to be effective, although when the privacy settings were increased, the results seemed to deteriorate. Closer examinations of the algorithm indicate that it is effective when compressing contextual map data for use by a mobile device, as well as effective perturbation of the user's location. The POI results returned from the LBS tell a different story. While the POI results at low privacy levels seemed to be accurate (i.e. the POIs returned from the LBS are in fact the POIs that are closest to the user), when the privacy settings were increased, the results would degrade (i.e. the POIs returned were, as expected, further away from the user's actual location). This is effective in the sense that the user's actual location is not able to be divulged to an adversary, but is not very effective in terms of usability and convenience for the user. In this thesis, we review CAP and several other proposed methods of location privacy intended for use with mobile devices. We have implemented CAP on a smartphone in its proposed method and evaluate its results, followed by modifications in order to gain more accurate POI results from publicly available LBS.
