Abstract

The main aim of location-sharing is to provide current location information to their designated users. Nowadays, Location Based Service (LBS) has become one of the popular services which are provided by social networks. As LBS activity makes use of the user's identity and current location information, an appropriate path has to be utilized to protect the location privacy. However, as per our knowledge, there is no access to protecting the location sharing with the complete privacy of the location. To consider this issue, we put forward a new cryptographic primitive functional pseudonym for location sharing that make sure privacy of the data. Also, the proposed approach notably reduces the computational overhead of users by delegating part of the computation for location sharing to a server, therefore it is endurable. The primitive can be widely used in many MOSNs to authorize LBS with enhanced privacy and sustainability. As a result, it will contribute to proliferate LBS by eliminating user's privacy concerns.
