Third party positioning services: novel challenges for location privacy in LBS / M.L. Damiani, P. Perri, C. Yildizli. - Milano : Dipartimento di Informatica e Comunicazione, 2011 Mar.
Abstract:
Acommon assumption in the research community working on location privacy in locationbased
services (LBS) is that the location sources are trusted. In this paper we present a different perspective. We argue that, because of the deployment of wifi-based/hybrid positioning techniques
and web-based LBSs, the user’s location is increasingly computed by third-party location providers which may be not fully trusted. This change of perspective challenges the effectiveness of current
location privacy-preserving techniques. To support this thesis we present an empirical investigation of the privacy issues raised by web-based LBSs. Moreover, following a holistic approach, we present the problem from three different and complementary angles, i.e., technical, user-based, and legal.
The overall picture suggests a novel direction of research.
