Location Privacy of Users in Location-based Services

Abstract

In this paper, we introduce location traceability as an indicator for evaluating time-series location privacy for users on location-based services (LBS). The location traceability of a user is calculated with a formalized tree structure that represents all possible paths of a moving user. Through the results of the simulation experiments, we validated the effectiveness of this proposed indicator
