Research on Location Privacy Protection Technology in Wireless Sensor Networks Based on Big Data

Abstract

The digital footprint in wireless sensor networks can bring great academic and commercial value, but it will also bring the risk of privacy disclosure to users. This study discusses the location privacy protection methods in location based service under multiple scenarios. In the experiment, a false location filtering algorithm for real-time location request scenarios and a false path generation model for offline location release scenarios are proposed. The false position filtering algorithm is implemented based on the idea of a large top heap selection query. The algorithm can construct false position candidate sets and filter false positions. The false track generation model combines the false position technology and the generative adversarial networks model, which mainly protects the user's track data by synthesizing tracks. In the attacker's recognition experiment of a real location. The minimum distance between the false locations generated by the algorithm proposed in the study is above 400 m and the generation time does not exceed 5 ms, generating a better set of false locations in terms of both effectiveness and efficiency. Compared with several commonly used privacypreserving algorithms, the proposed algorithm has the lowest probability of being identified with real locations, with no more than 21% overall, and is almost independent of the k value. the recognition accuracy of the trajectory user link task decreases from over 90% to about 34%, indicating that the proposed fake trajectory generation model can effectively protect users' data privacy. The experimental results demonstrate that the algorithm and model proposed in the study can quickly generate physically dispersed and semantically diverse sets of fake locations and effectively protect users' trajectory privacy, which is important for users' digital footprint privacy protection.
