Providing location privacy in pervasive computing through a hybrid mechanism
Mohsen Sharifi, Leila Naghavian · International Journal of Internet Technology and Secured Transactions · 2010
Advances in pervasive computing technology on the one hand, and the widespread use of mobile computing devices combined with improvements in embedded positioning capabilities on the other hand, testify the need for new mechanisms and applications to realise these innovative technologies with particular concern for users' privacy and consent. Although several researches on these new technologies and their privacy are ongoing, there is still a long path to realise all their benefits. This paper takes a special attention to location privacy in pervasive computing, as a particular type of information privacy. A hybrid mechanism for location privacy in pervasive computing is proposed.
