移动通信设备的广泛采用与定位技术的技术改进相结合，正在促进新一波应用程序的开发，这些应用程序可以管理个人的物理位置，从而为商业、社交或信息目的提供基于位置的服务。然而，由于此类创新服务的影响，隐私问题日益增加，需要更复杂的解决方案来为用户提供不同且可管理的隐私级别。在这项工作中，我们提出了一种以直接直观的方式表达用户对位置信息的隐私偏好的方法。然后，基于这种位置隐私偏好，我们讨论了一种基于混淆技术的新解决方案，它允许我们实现并通过度量定量估计不同程度的位置隐私。
The widespread adoption of mobile communication devices combined with technical improvements of location technologies are fostering the development of a new wave of applications that manage physical positions of individuals to offer location-based services for business, social or informational purposes. As an effect of such innovative services, however, privacy concerns are increasing, calling for more sophisticated solutions for providing users with different and manageable levels of privacy. In this work, we propose a way to express users privacy preferences on location information in a straightforward and intuitive way. Then, based on such location privacy preferences, we discuss a new solution, based on obfuscation techniques, which permits us to achieve, and quantitatively estimate through a metric, different degrees of location privacy.
