Abstract:

Most current privacy-preserving techniques either require a trusted third-party (TTP) anonymizer or have proved to be quivering in the users' cooperative stability when temporal-spatial scenes change in located-based service (LBS). In order to address these challenges, this paper introduces an adaptive context-aware privacy-preserving technique without TTP and user cooperation: the context of a user's location can be real-time achieved based on the multi-granularity abstract road-networks from the LBS server. Furthermore, the usage of the context-aware technique ensures adaptability to the user's personalized privacy settings, and enables the LBS server to retrieve the minimal regional road-network and incremental nearest-neighbor results. Theoretical analysis and experimental results validate the technique's effectiveness on LBS accuracy, privacy protection and communication QoS (Quality-of-Service).

Key words: located-based service, location privacy protection, context awareness, context modelling
