Abstract

Mobile Crowdsourcing (MCS) surfaced as a new affluent method for data collection and processing as a result of the boom of sensor-rich mobile devices popularity. MCS still has room for improvement, particularly in protecting workers’ private information such as location. Therefore, the installation of privacy-preserving mechanisms that insulate sensitive infor-mation and prevent attackers from obtaining information is a necessity. In this paper, we discuss location privacy threats and analyze some recently proposed mechanisms that targeted location privacy in mobile crowdsourcing. Finally, we compare and evaluate these mechanisms according to specific criteria that we define in this paper.
