Protecting Privacy Against Location-Based Personal Identification

Authors(4) :-Ram Prakash. R, Prabhu. K, Samson Sunny. S, Devi. S

In this paper we exhibit an answer for one of the area based inquiry issues. This issue is characterized as tails: (i) a client needs to inquiry a database of area information, known as Points Of Interest (POIs), and would not like to uncover his/her area to the server because of protection concerns; (ii) the holder of the area information, that is, the area server, would not like to just appropriate its information to all clients. The area server goals to have some control over its information, subsequent to the information is its advantage. We propose a noteworthy upgrade upon past arrangements by presenting a two stage approach, where the first step is in view of Oblivious Transfer and the second step is taking into account Private Information Retrieval, to attain to a protected answer for both sides. The arrangement we present is proficient and viable in numerous situations. We actualize our answer on a desktop machine and a cell phone to evaluate the proficiency of our convention. We additionally present a security demonstrate and dissect the security in the setting of our convention. At last, we highlight a security shortcoming of our past work and present an answer for overcome it.
