The objective of this project is to build a location-based service system that protects user identity and location privacy. The system allows users to access services without revealing exact coordinates or personally identifiable information.
Study location-based service models and privacy threats.
Analyze risks of location tracking and profiling.
Design a privacy-preserving location query architecture.
Implement location obfuscation or cloaking techniques.
Ensure anonymized user request handling.
Apply encryption for communication security.
Test service responses under different privacy configurations.
Evaluate trade-offs between accuracy and privacy protection.
Simulate real-world use cases like navigation or nearby services.
Document privacy enhancement results and limitations.
Analyze potential misuse scenarios and mitigation strategies.
