摘要：The blooming of location-sharing services has led to serious privacy concerns, particularly location privacy concerns. In this paper, we first discuss the definition of location privacy and then review several location privacy protection mechanisms. After that, we classify location privacy protection mechanisms into four categories: legislation & regulatory, anonymity & obfuscation, protocol and policy-based protection. We explain each privacy protection mechanism category in detail and discuss if it can be used in particular kind of location-sharing services along with their advantages and disadvantages.
