Electromagnetic Time Reversal: Theory, Application to Fault Location in Power Networks and Experimental Validation

The time-reversal invariance is readily described and universally embodied in most laws of nature, either in a strict or in a soft sense. Based on this underlying physical principle, time-reversal theory has been theoretically and experimentally studied in ...

GeoAware: A Hybrid Indoor and Outdoor Localization Agent for Smart Buildings

Maher Kayal, Georgios Lilis, Adrien Guillaume Olivier Hoffet

Localizing, identifying and authenticating the individual occupants is of paramount importance for the future intelligent buildings. Although the performance of outdoor positioning systems is sufficiently good, the indoor ones have still to converge to a u ...

On the Privacy Implications of Location Semantics

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Kévin Clément Huguenin, Urs Beda Hengartner

Mobile users increasingly make use of location-based online services enabled by localization systems. Not only do they share their locations to obtain contextual services in return (e.g., 'nearest restaurant'), but they also share, with their friends, info ...

Prolonging the Hide-and-Seek Game: Optimal Trajectory Privacy for Location-Based Services

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

Human mobility is highly predictable. Individuals tend to only visit a few locations with high frequency, and to move among them in a certain sequence reflecting their habits and daily routine. This predictability has to be taken into account in the design ...

How Others Compromise Your Location Privacy: The Case of Shared Public IPs at Hotspots

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Kévin Clément Huguenin, Nevena Vratonjic, Vincent Bindschaedler

Location privacy has been extensively studied over the last few years, especially in the context of location-based services where users purposely disclose their location to benefit from convenient context-aware services. To date, however, little attention ...

Track Me If You Can: On the Effectiveness of Context-based Identifier Changes in Deployed Mobile Networks

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Imad Aad, Igor Bilogrevic, Murtuza Jadliwala, Laurent Bindschaedler, Valtteri Niemi

Location privacy is a major concern in an increasingly connected and highly pervasive network of mobile users. Novel location-based applications and device-to-device services (on these mobile devices) are gaining popularity, but at the same time, these ser ...

Location System and Corresponding Calibration Method

Pierre-André Farine, Cyril Botteron, Phillip Tomé

The present invention relates to a location system, for locating at least one object within a predefined cell, comprising at least first and second receivers (A, B, C, D), first and second transmitters respectively, including first and second internal cloc ...

Protecting Location Privacy: Optimal Strategy against Localization Attacks

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

The mainstream approach to protecting the location-privacy of mobile users in location-based services (LBSs) is to alter the users' actual locations in order to reduce the location information exposed to the service provider. The location obfuscation algor ...

Locating the Source of Diffusion in Large-Scale Networks

Martin Vetterli, Patrick Thiran, Pedro Pereira Correia Pinto

How can we localize the source of diffusion in a complex network? Due to the tremendous size of many real networks---such as the Internet or the human social graph---it is usually infeasible to observe the state of all nodes in a network. We show that it i ...

Collaborative Location Privacy with Rational Users

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Reza Shokri, Mathias Jacques Jean-Marc Humbert, Francisco De Meneses Neves Ramos Dos Santos

Recent smartphones incorporate embedded GPS devices that enable users to obtain geographic information about their surroundings by providing a location-based service (LBS) with their current coordinates. However, LBS providers collect a significant amount ...
