Privacy Preserving in Location Based Services

At the present time, Preserving Privacy of individual in this Developing Modern World is still challenging. With the increase of Location-Enabled Mobile devices and the advances of wireless communication, use of Location Based Services(LBS) has increased which has attracted considerable interest recently. Aiming at this challenges, we have implemented a system, which will secure the Location and Preserve Privacy of User irrespective of Service Provider, who wants to track the user by sending notification messages. Before providing security, User’s Location is accessed anonymously and transmitted through unsecured path to the Server. In this system, before sending the location directly to the server, our system will first encrypt the location using LBS Query algorithm and then Outsourced to the server so that the server will be unable to interpret the Location of User. Hence a Registered user can get accurate Services without revealing his/her location information to the LBS Provider and confidentiality of data is preserved.
