Quest for Personal Control Over Mobile Location Privacy

Overview How to protect location privacy of mobile users is an important issue in ubiquitous computing. However, location privacy protection is particularly challenging: on one hand, the administration requires all legitimate users to provide IDentity (ID) information in order to grant them permission to use its wireless service; on the other hand, mobile users would prefer not to expose any information which enables anyone, including the administration, to get some clue regarding their whereabouts, that is, mobile users would like to have complete personal control of their location privacy. To address this issue, the paper proposes an authorized-anonymous-ID based scheme; this scheme effectively eliminates the need for a trusted server or administration, which is assumed in the previous work.
