Abstract
This is a literature survey of computational location privacy meaning computationbased privacy mechanisms that treat location data as geometric information This definition includes privacypreserving algorithms like anonymity and obfuscation as well as privacybreaking algorithms that exploit the geometric nature of the data The survey omits noncomputational techniques like manually inspecting geotagged photos and it omits techniques like encryption or access control that treat location data as general symbols The paper reviews studies of peoples’ attitudes about location privacy computational threats on leaked location data and computational countermeasures for mitigating these threats
