DESIGN OF A DECENTRALIZED MATCHING SERVICE FOR USER PRIVACY IN LOCATION BASED SERVICES

摘要

Design of a Decentralized Matching Service for User Privacy in Location Based Services. The present invention relates to service offerings to users and, more particularly, to location based service offerings to users. As the location based service provider has access to both the locations of the user and the profile of the user, concerns of the privacy of the user become important. The embodiments herein enable a user to access location based services without any single entity being able to know both the location of the user and the interests of the user. FIG. 1
