Ping Zhang, Arjan Durresi · 2017
Internet mobile users concern more and more about their privacy nowadays as both researches and real world incidents show leaking of communication and location privacy can lead to serious consequence, and many researches have been done to anonymize individual user from aggregated location data. However just the communication itself between mobile user and their peers or website could leak considerable privacy of mobile user, such as location history, to other parties. Unfortunately this idea didn't draw enough attention from research community. In this paper we investigated the potential privacy risk of Internet mobile users, and proposed a scalable cloud aided system that hides mobile user's network location and traffic from communication peers. This system creates a dynamic distributed proxy network for each mobile user to minimize performance overhead and operation cost.
