Abstract |
Todays location-sensitive service relies on user’s mobile device to determine its location and send the location to the application. This approach allows the user to cheat by having his/her device transmit a fake location, which might enable the user to access a restricted resource erroneously or provide false identity. To address this issue, we propose a far better system, more efficient than A Privacy-Preserving LocAtion proof Updating System(APPLAUS) in which co-located Bluetooth enabled mobile devices mutually generate location proofs, and update to a location proof server. Periodically changed pseudonyms are used by the mobile devices to protect source location privacy from each other, and from the untrusted location proof server in the proposed system. Extensive experimental results show that our proposed scheme (LOCATEme), besides providing location proofs effectively, can efficiently preserve the source location privacy. Pseudonyms are objects that consists of Bluetooth MAC, latitudes, longitudes, timestamp, key and they don't have any specific meaning. Pseudonym objects are uploaded to the server at a particular interval of time period with a session_id that can be used to track what time the user has requested for location proofs which avoid pseudonym object clashes and mismatches. This will be helpful to identify whether the user's location is highly accurate, reliable and trustworthy. The project is set up such that whenever it is used in the device, the bluetooth gets synced up with nearby devices, letting it get the MAC address alone of the bluetooth device just in case to give the user an identity that is totally unique. This helps in distinguishing users so that they can be used for location proof submissions. The nearby device will send proof for the user's device when the server sends an acknowledgement that their device is prone to proof submissions. The process of sensing nearby co-located devices through bluetooth allows automatic submissions of location proof updates without the need of the user to do the work manually. |
