When the user applies for a location continuous query service, the user location privacy may be revealed due to different types of trajectory identification. A false trajectory privacy protection scheme is proposed, which uses the real-time generation of similar trajectories to protect the user’s personal location privacy. The false location set is established by initial anonymous location selection, similar trajectory location calculation and generated location selection. The false location is used to form a false trajectory similar to the real location trajectory, which reduces the probability of attacker identification and achieves real-time trajectory anonymity based on location service. Finally, the effectiveness of the scheme is verified by performance analysis and experimental results.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
