Abstract

Location Based Services (LBS) expose user data to malicious attacks. Approaches, evolved, so far, for preserving privacy and security, suffer from one or more anomalies, and hence the problem of securing LBS data is far from being resolved. In particular, accuracy of results vs. privacy degree, privacy vs. performance, and trust between users are open problems. In this article, we present a novel approach by integration of peer-to-peer (P2P) with the caching technique and dummies from real queries. Our approach increases efficiency, leads to improved performance, and provides solutions to many problems that have existed in the past. In addition, we offer an improved way of managing cache. Simulation demonstrates superiority of our approach over earlier ones dealing with both the ratio of privacy and that of performance.
