Abstract:
The state-of-the-art location-based services (LBSs) feature data owners, requesting clients, and service providers. As LBSs become new business opportunities, there is an increasing necessity to verify the genuineness of the service
results. Unfortunately, while traditional query authentication techniques can address this issue, they fail to protect the privacy of the data, which are sensitive location information when it comes to LBSs. In this talk, I will first show how
to preserve this privacy when authenticating location-based range queries. As this technique is limited to range queries where private values only appear on one side of any comparison, I will then discuss the solution to the more challenging problem where private values appear on both sides of a comparison. This solution helps to authenticating privacy-preserving kNN and other location-based top-k queries.
