Privacy Preserving Scheme for Location Based Services Using Cryptographic Approach

Abstract

Location based services pose strong security and privacy requirements but achieving privacy protection at the client side is a non-trial problem. In this paper, we propose an efficient and reliable location privacy preserving scheme using cryptographic approach. It can preserve users' privacy data by making their identity be anonymity for LBS provider and fog server. For communication, both AES with One-Time-Pad keys and IBE are employed to guarantee confidentiality and integrity of request and response data. Besides, we also provide security analysis to demonstrate that our scheme can resist internal attack, external attack and colluding attack.
