“…Notwithstanding its widespread adoption in real-time social systems (Cheng et al, 2011), travel-related applications (Pedrana, 2014), smart cities (Wang, 2016) and its valueadding expedience to commerce (Heinemann and Gaiser, 2015), Location-based services have been a controversial topic from the point of user privacy (Dobson & Fisher, 2003). Accordingly, Joseph and Choudhury (Joseph & Choudhury, 2009) have proposed an anonymizer system for location data that is called CacheCloak.…”

The aim of this paper is to identify whether the development of a context-dependent location tracking prototype would be possible with technology already present in modern smartphones. To do this, a market gap analysis of the current competitors, and how the final product would differentiate from the competitors are given. Furthermore, the chosen technologies and frameworks are described briefly followed by a technical presentation of the prototype and how it works. Finally, the concept and future work are discussed. As a result, the conclusion is that the prototype presented in this paper shows that it is possible to develop a contextdependent location tracking system with technology present in modern smartphones and thus providing proof-of-concept.

“…Despite considerable user uptake, e.g., in real-time social systems [4], [5] or travel-related applications [6], [7], and promising potentials in commerce [8] or smart cities [9], [10], widespread adoption of location-based services is impeded by specific concerns regarding location privacy [11] and general fear of misappropriation [12].…”

While becoming more and more present in our every day lives, services that operate on users' locations or location trajectories suffer from general fear of misappropriation of the transmitted location data. Several works have investigated of how to cope with this drawback. Respective systems claim location-privacy, i.e. keeping users' locations secret, by employing anonymisation techniques concerning a user's identity, or by obfuscating the transmitted location. These approaches lead to a degrade of quality-of-service and can be vulnerable to de-anonymisation attacks, or allow to learn at least the approximate location of a user. Focusing on the application domain of geo-fencing, we present as remedy a protocol that is based on homomorphic encryption of a user's location. The protocol provably provides full location-privacy by non-exposure of the users' location data, while producing exact geo-fencing results. We provide a detailed definition of the protocol, show its applicability in an actual geo-fencing application, and show that the resulting system fulfills all security properties we see for a location-privacy preserving system.
