Abstract:

Currently spatial cloaking algorithm is one of the most active research issues in the field of privacy protection of LBS. Majority of the current spatial cloaking algorithms are adopting centralized structure, under which the central anonymous server makes users anonymous. However, the central anonymous server can be easily become the bottleneck of performance and the target of concentrated attack. Recently researchers have proposed the introduction of P2P mode, but at present the proposed algorithm has a shortage on the performance and security. In regards to the issue mentioned above, we proposed the Spatial Cloaking Algorithm based on P2P and Grid ID (the “SCAPGID”), which hides the user’s exact location and seek the anonymous areas meeting the privacy needs via grid ID. After comparison with the existing algorithms, the SCAPGID can improve the success rate of anonymity, reduce the anonymous area, and avoid “center-of-K-ASR" attack without exposure of accurate location.

Key words: spatial cloaking algorithm, P2P, grid ID
