Abstract

With the development of location-based applications such as smart phones and GPS navigation, active research is being conducted to protect location and trajectory privacy. To receive location-related services, users must disclose their exact location to the server. However, disclosure of users' location exposes not only their locations but also their trajectory to the server, which can lead to concerns of privacy violation. Furthermore, users request from the server not only location information but also multimedia information (photographs, reviews, etc. of the location), and this increases the processing cost of the server and the information to be received by the user. To solve these problems, this study proposes the EGTC (Enhanced Grid-based Trajectory Cloaking) technique. As with the existing GTC (Grid-based Trajectory Cloaking) technique, EGTC method divides the user trajectory into grids at the user privacy level (UPL) and creates a cloaking region in which a random query sequence is determined. In the next step, the necessary information is received as index by considering the sub-grid cell corresponding to the path through which the user wishes to move as c(x,y). The proposed method ensures the trajectory privacy as with the existing GTC method while reducing the amount of information the user must listen to. The excellence of the proposed method has been proven through experimental results.

스마트폰, GPS 네비게이션과 같은 위치 응용프로그램이 발달함에 따라 위치 및 궤적 프라이버시를 보호하기 위한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 위치 관련 서비스를 제공받기 위해서는 자신의 정확한 위치를 서버에게 공개해야 한다. 그러나 사용자 위치의 공개는 서버에게 자신의 위치뿐만 아니라 궤적까지 노출하게 되어 사생활 침해의 우려가 있다. 또한 사용자가 서버에게 요청한 정보는 위치 정보뿐만 아니라 멀티미디어 정보(위치에 대한 사진, 리뷰 등)를 포함하고 있기 때문에 서버가 처리해야 하는 비용 및 사용자가 받아야하는 정보가 증가하게 된다. 따라서 이를 해결하기 위해 본 논문에서는 EGTC (Enhanced Grid-based Trajectory Cloaking) 기법을 제안한다. EGTC 기법은 기존 GTC (Grid-based Trajectory Cloaking) 기법과 마찬가지로 사용자 궤적을 사용자가 원하는 프라이버시 레벨(UPL: User's desired Privacy Level) 수준으로 그리드를 분할하여 클로킹 영역을 생성 한 후, 랜덤한 질의 순서를 정한다. 다음 단계로 사용자가 이동하고자 하는 경로에 해당하는 서브 그리드 셀을 c(x,y)로 간주해 필요한 정보를 색인으로 구성해 받는다. 제안 기법은 기존 GTC 기법과 같이 궤적 프라이버시를 보장하면서 사용자가 청취해야 하는 정보의 양을 줄였다. 실험 결과를 통하여 제안 기법의 우수성을 증명하였다.
