A Location Cloaking Algorithm Based on Combinatorial Optimization for Location-Based Services in 5G Networks

Security Attacks on the IoT Network with 5G Wireless Communication

“…Most mobile applications require permission to access a user's personal information before installing them, but do not mention where this data is stored and for what purpose it is used. Some threats target the user's privacy such as semantic information attacks, timing attacks [10]. Effect on 5G networks of different parties such as Virtual MNOs (VMNOs), Communication Service, Providers (CSPs) and network infrastructure providers, each one of them has its security and privacy, policies.…”

5G security: Analysis of threats and solutions

“…The application developers or companies rarely mention that how the data is stored and for what purposes it is going to be used. Threats such as semantic information attacks, timing attacks, and boundary attacks mainly target the location privacy of subscribers [26]. At the physical layer level, location privacy can be leaked by access point selection algorithms in 5G mobile networks [27].…”

“…Techniques such as obfuscation are also useful, where the quality of location information is reduced in order to protect location privacy [65]. Moreover, location cloaking based algorithms are quite useful to handle some of major location privacy attacks such as timing and boundary attacks [26].…”

Design Space Exploration of a Multi-Model AI-Based Indoor Localization System

“…However, most recent research efforts focus only on services provided directly to humans that use related devices for position tracking. The most prominent technology today in this context is based on 5G mobile communications [5] and the most widely deployed user devices designed to support 5G communications, generally named as smartphones (i.e., mobile phones usually supporting a common operating system such as Android and iOS and equipped with compatible subsystems and applications to support related services). With the advent of the Internet of things (IoT) and machine-to-machine (M2M) communications, IPS services can offer much more than human path-finding solutions.…”
