The Research of Mobile Location Privacy Protection Access Control Method Based on Game Theory

Abstract

In recent years, the Internet of things has developed rapidly. And the location-based service (LBS) is becoming more and more extensive. Service providers hold a large number of users’ information. In order to improve the quality of service, service providers increasingly use big data technology to provide more accurate services for users. At the same time, it aggravates the information disclosure of users’ privacy. From the perspective of the service provider, a mobile location privacy access control method based on game theory is proposed to solve the access control problem of mobile location privacy information. Firstly, the weight coefficient is set according to the location privacy influence factors, and then the access control threshold is calculated according to the privacy location leakage situation of the mobile location. Different visitor levels are set according to the threshold. In the process of access control, the prejudgement of the access behaviour is performed, and then the privacy information amount of the information requested for access is calculated according to the weights of the different information. Compare the result with the threshold and get the access control strategy. The strategy set is selected based on strategy matrix of game theory and thresholds are adjusted based on the calculation returns of strategy matrix. The effectiveness and practicability of the method are verified through the security analysis.
