Location Privacy Preservation for Location Based Service Applications: Taxonomies, Issues and Future Research Directions

Abstract

Context-aware computing processes the mobile user’s query/transaction submitted from anywhere at any time. Basically, location based services (LBSs) are continuous, local, and spatially confined applications of computing in the context-aware mobile environment, where queries/transactions are initiated by the mobile users. The smartphones as a resultant of today’s advanced mobile technologies allow these mobile users to access numerous LBSs and provide information interactively to them depending on their locations. The mobile user’s positions and associated confidential information enable more sensitive information to be created; but, it inevitably leads to a threat that these sensitive information may be used for different purposes by the third parties. Also, there is lack of state of the art location privacy preservation procedures to be able to create a balance between user location/ activity privacy preservation and quality of services in LBSs technologies. Therefore, there is a need to do more research efforts to ensure the privacy of these mobile users by developing the secured location-based technologies. Thus, our this study specifically discusses the aforementioned issues, a literature for the taxonomy of the privacy preservation approaches available to the research community with comparative analysis over the common attributes, highlighting limitations/strength, recent advancement and provides possible research directions for the further investigation of the unanswered questions.
