Collaborative Location Privacy

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Panagiotis Papadimitratos, Reza Shokri, Georgios Theodorakopoulos

Location-aware smart phones support various location-based services (LBSs): users query the LBS server and learn on the fly about their surroundings. However, such queries give away private information, enabling the LBS to identify and track users. We addr ...

Quantifying Location Privacy: The Case of Sporadic Location Exposure

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Reza Shokri, Georgios Theodorakopoulos

Mobile users expose their location to potentially untrusted entities by using location-based services. Based on the frequency of location exposure in these applications, we divide them into two main types: Continuous and Sporadic. These two location exposu ...

Reaching Correlated Equilibria Through Multi-agent Learning

Boi Faltings, Ludek Cigler

Many games have undesirable Nash equilibria. For exam- ple consider a resource allocation game in which two players compete for an exclusive access to a single resource. It has three Nash equilibria. The two pure-strategy NE are effi- cient, but not fair. ...

Tracking Games in Mobile Networks

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Mathias Jacques Jean-Marc Humbert, Julien Freudiger

Users of mobile networks can change their identifiers in regions called mix zones in order to defeat the attempt of third parties to track their location. Mix zones must be deployed carefully in the network to reduce the cost they induce on mobile users an ...

On Non-cooperative Location Privacy: A Game-theoretic Analysis

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Julien Freudiger, David C. Parkes

In mobile networks, authentication is a required primitive of the majority of security protocols. However, an adversary can track the location of mobile nodes by monitoring pseudonyms used for authentication. A frequently proposed solution to protect locat ...
