This paper focus on location privacy in location based services, Location privacy is a particular type of information privacy that can be defined as the ability to prevent others from learning one’s current or past location. Many systems such as GPS implicitly and automatically give its users location privacy. Once user sends his or her current location to the application server, Application server stores current locations of users in application server database. User can not delete or modify his or her location data after sending once to application server. Addressing this problem, Here in this paper, we are giving theoretical concept for protecting location privacy in pervasive computing environment. This approach based on user anonymity based location privacy. Going through the basic user anonymity based a location privacy approach that uses trusted proxy. By analysis of this approach, we propose an improvement over it using dummy-locations of users and also dummies of requested services by users from the application server. In this paper, this approach reduces the user’s overheads to extracting necessary information from reply message coming from application server. In this approach, user send a message having (current location and ID+ requested service) to the trusted proxy and trusted proxy generates dummies location related to current location and also generates temporary pseudonym corresponding to real ID of users. After Analysis of this approach we have found on problem with requested service. Addressing this problem, we improve our method by using dummies of requested service generated by trusted proxy. Trusted proxy generated Dummies (false position) by dummies location algorithms.
