Achieving High Privacy Protection in Location-based Recommendation Systems

Abstract

In recent years, privacy has become great attention in the research community. In Location-based Recommendation Systems (LbRSs), the user is constrained to build queries depend on his actual position to search for the closest points of interest (POIs). An external attacker can analyze the sent queries or track the actual position of the LbRS user to reveal his\her personal information. Consequently, ensuring high privacy protection (which is including location privacy and query privacy) is a fundamental thing. In this paper, we propose a model that guarantees high privacy protection for LbRS users. The model is work by three components: The first component (selector) uses a new location privacy protection approach, namely, the smart dummy selection (SDS) approach. The SDS approach generates a strong dummy position that has high resistance versus a semantic position attack. The second component (encryptor) uses an encryption-based approach that guarantees a high level of query privacy versus a sampling query attack. The last component (constructor) constructs the protected query that is sent to the LbRS server. Our proposed model is supported by a checkpoint technique to ensure a high availability quality attribute. Our proposed model yields competitive results compared to similar models under various privacy and performance metrics.
