“…Among them, it is a feasible and effective strategy to use pseudonyms to conceal vehicles' real identities and provide unlinkability of new and previous pseudonyms. In some schemes, [7][8][9] each vehicle needs to store a large number of anonymous certificates in advance and changes its pseudonym in fixed mix-zones which are carefully selected and are generally road intersections. These methods have to deal with storing and managing too many anonymous certificates, and the limitation that vehicles are allowed only to change pseudonyms in fixed zones make these schemes lack of necessary flexibility.…”

In Internet of Vehicles, establishing swap zones in which vehicles can exchange pseudonyms is an effective method to enhance vehicles’ location privacy. In this article, we propose a new scheme based on dynamic pseudonym swap zone, to protect location privacy of vehicles. For each vehicle, dynamic pseudonym swap zone allows it dynamically to establish a temporary pseudonym swap zone on demand to exchange the pseudonym with another random vehicle in the just formed zone. This randomness of choosing the pseudonym exchanging vehicles prevents dynamic pseudonym swap zone from the secure risk that the information of exchanging participants exposes to their group manager in some existing works in which each pair of pseudonym exchanging participants is assigned by the manager. To avoid the high communication and computation overhead of frequently swapping pseudonyms, dynamic pseudonym swap zone adopts a combination of swap and update to achieve the unlinkability between new and previous pseudonyms. Moreover, dynamic pseudonym swap zone can self-adapt to the varying surroundings to reduce the communication cost of forming pseudonym swap zones in high vehicle density areas. The analysis and simulation results show that our proposed dynamic pseudonym swap zone is a high location privacy preserving, secure, auditable scheme.

“…Sensor networks are the spatial distribution of large numbers of sensors with their computation and communication capabilities (Freudiger, Jadliwala, Hubaux, Niemi, & Ginzboorg, 2013). Since these nodes are deployed in various environments, including remote and dangerous environments such as volcanic regions, the major problem in WSN has become how to power a wireless transmission that requires higher power levels from limitedpower resources (Belleville, et al 2010).…”

Energy Harvesting (EHV) circuits are developed as an alternative solution to supply energy to autonomous sensor nodes in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN). In this context, this paper presents a micro-power management system for multi energy sources based on a novel design of charge pump circuit (CPC) to allow the total autonomy of self-powered sensors. This work proposes a low-voltage and high performance charge pump suitable for implementation in standard CMOS technologies. The charge pump (CP) design was implemented using Cadence Virtuoso with AMS 0.35μm CMOS technology parameters. Its active area is 0.112mm². Consistent results were obtained between the measured findings of the chip testing and the simulation results. The circuit can operate with an 800 mV supply and generate a boosted output voltage of 2.835V with 1MHz as frequency.Index terms-Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN); Energy harvesting (EHV); micro-power management system; charge pump circuit (CPC).

“…Privacy of a user's location or location preferences, with relevance different users and therefore the third-party service provider, may be an essential concern in such location-sharing-based applications [2]. For instance, such information can be used to de-anonymize users and their availabilities [3], to track their preferences [4] or to identify their social networks [5]. In the taxi-sharing application, a third-party supplier could easily deduce home/work location pairs of users who regularly use their service.…”

In today's highly interconnected world users are increasingly dependent on high end smartphones and mobile devices. Users arrange and plan their daily routines using such high end devices. These applications often rely on current locations of individual users or a group of users to provide the desired service. By means of such applications and services, majority of such user population reveal their current location details to the third party service providers. Knowingly or unknowingly mobile users compromise their privacy. Without efficient protection, even sharing location information has been shown to provide reliable information about a users' private globe, which could have severe consequences on the users' personal, social, and financial life Users, who are cautious about their whereabouts, do not necessarily want to reveal their current locations to the service provider or to untrusted users. This paper, proposes algorithms for location privacy preserving of mobile users. This is to provide practical privacy-preserving techniques to solve this problem, such that neither an untrusted user, nor participating users, can learn other users' locations, legitimate users only learn the optimal location.
