The objective of this project is to develop a location tracking system that preserves user privacy by obfuscating sensitive location data. The system enables location-based services while preventing precise tracking and misuse of personal location information.
Study location-based services and associated privacy risks.
Analyze techniques for location obfuscation and data generalization.
Design a system that collects and processes location data securely.
Implement location anonymization techniques such as noise addition or region mapping.
Control access to precise location information.
Store obfuscated location data securely.
Implement user consent management for location sharing.
Test system accuracy versus privacy trade-offs.
Simulate real-time location updates.
Evaluate effectiveness against tracking attacks.
Document privacy guarantees and system limitations.
