Abstract:

Assume that anonymous participants have the same level of security is inconsistent and often questionable with the actual scenario in location k-anonymity techniques. The article drew from the theory of secure multiparty computation and presented a non-cooperative location privacy-preserving method in the distributed structure. Based on the spatial-temporal cloaking, the method introduced oblivious transferring for design privacy-aware query protocols. Security analysis and simulation show that this method can meet the conditions of the location k-anonymity and location obfuscation, and can achieve greater privacy.

Key words: privacy-preserving, location-based services, spatial-temporal cloaking, oblivious transfer
