Location-based services or LBS refer to value-added service by processing information utilizing mobile user location. With the rapidly increasing wireless Internet subscribers and world LBS market, the various location based applications are introduced such as buddy finder, proximity and security services. As the killer application of the wireless Internet, the LBS have reconsidered technology about location determination technology, LBS middleware server for various application, and diverse contents processing technology. However, there are fears that this new wealth of personal location information will lead to new security risks, to the invasion of the privacy of people and organizations. This paper describes a novel security approach on open LBS service to validate certificate based on current LBS platform environment using XKMS (XML Key Management Specification) and SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language), XACML (extensible Access Control Markup Language) in XML security mechanism.

LBS는 이동통신망이나 위성신호등을 이용하여 Mobile 단말의 위치를 측정하고, 측정한 위치와 관련된 다양한 정보 서비스를 제공하기 위한 기술이다. 그러나 사용자의 프라이버시(Privacy) 문제나 접근제어(Access Control)같은 인증(Authentication)문제가 중요한 이슈로 대두되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 LBS에 대한 전반적인 사항을 분석하여 문제점을 도출하고, LBS Privacy 문제점을 보호할 수 있는 방안을 제시한다. 최종적으로 제안된 모델은 차세대 LBS 시스템의 개인정보 및 Privacy 보호를 위한 기술적인 대안을 제시하였으며, 차세대 이동통신의 기반 기술이 될 것으로 기대한다.

Location Based Services, or LBS refers to value-added service by processing information utilizing mobile user location. With the rapidly increasing wireless internet subscribers and world LBS market, the various location based applications are introduced such as buddy finder, proximity and security services. As the killer application of the wireless internet, the LBS has preconsidered technology about location determination technology, LBS middleware server for various application, and diverse contents processing technology. This paper describes the open architecture for LBS platform ensuring interoperability among the wireless networks and various location-based application services and the functional requirements for the LBS platform. The LBS platform in a narrow sense provides a standard interfaces for location management and network management for location services as follows, positioning (location acquisition through network or/and handset), location managing, location based functions, profile management, authentication and security, location based billing, information roaming between carriers and the system monitoring independent to specific network or ISP/CPs(Content Providers).

According to proliferation of smartphones and extension of various services utilizing location information, markets of Location Based Service(LBS) have been activating all over the world. However, as the privacy violations of personal location information have been continuously increased, interests in the deregulation have been grown as well. While the regulations of location information can protect personal information and privacy, it causes some negative affect in terms of development of diverse services and industry activation. In particular, Korea is the only country that has applied strict restrictions of LBS by making location information related independent 'Location Information Protection Act'. As a result of this, the issues that LBS industry has no longer developed in Korea and it is necessary for us to relax the regulations have been consistently raised. Thus, this study confirmed that there was the negative(-) relationship between the regulations and the market activation of LBS by comparing and analyzing the correlation between the market growth rate of LBS and relevant regulations at home and abroad; the regulations are strengthened, restrictions in market entry and the business performance can occur. In other words, LBS business will be able to be activated if the regulations which have not directly related to the privacy have been relaxed.

Location-based services are a recent concept that integrates a mobile device's location with other information in order to provide added value to a user. Although Location-based Services provide users with comfortable information, it is a complex task to manage and share heterogeneous and numerous data in decentralized environments. In this paper, we propose the Semantic LBS Model as one of the solution to resolve the problem. The Semantic LBS Model is a LBS middleware model that includes an ontology-based data model for LBS POI information and its processing mechanism based on Semantic Web technologies. Our model enables POI information to be described and retrieved over various domain-specific ontologies based on our proposed POIDL ontology. This mechanism provide rich expressiveness, interoperability, flexibility in describing and using information about POls, and it can enhance POI retrieval services.

위치기반서비스(Location Based Service)는 이동중인 사용자의 위치 정보를 타 정보와 결합해 사용자가 요청, 혹은 필요로 하는 부가적인 응용 서비스를 제공하기 위한 기술을 말한다. 현재의 개인 위주의 서비스에서 국가 전반적인 인프라 차원으로 급속히 확대 발전함에 따라 사용자의 프라이버시(Privacy) 문제나 접근제어와 같은 인증문제가 중요한 이슈로 대두되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 LBS 기업체 동향 및 전반적인 사항을 분석하여 문제점을 도출하고 LBS 프라이버시(Privacy) 보호를 위한 접근제어 문제, 인증 문제 및 키 신규성 확인 기능을 제공하는 타원곡선 기반의 인증 및 키 교환 프로토콜 기술을 제시한다.

위치기반 서비스(Location Based Service)는 이동통신망 또는 GPS 등을 기반으로 사람이나 사물의 위치를 정확하게 파악하고 이를 활용하여 다양한 응용이 가능한 서비스를 의미한다. 최근 위치기반 서비스는 이동통신 기지국이나 GPS를 통해 개인이나 차량등의 위치를 파악하여 긴급구조, 교통정보, 재난관리 등을 서비스하는 신산업 분야로서의 중요성이 증대됨에 따라 이에 대한 관심이 급증하고 있다. 그러나 이러한 산업 파급효과와 서비스 유형을 고려할 때, 공간정보의 활용과 위치기반서비스의 구현에서 핵심적인 역할을 하는 것이 위치정보인데 이러한 위치정보는 여타의 정보와 다른 특성을 가지게 된다. 즉, 위치정보는 개인정보보호 및 프라이버시(사생활)보호의 문제와 직결된다는 것이다. 특히 위치정보가 성명, 주민등록번호, 주소, 전화번호 등과 함께 직접적으로 사생활 침해의 문제를 강하게 발생시킬 수 있어 위치정보는 여타의 정보에 비하여 보다 강력한 보호를 필요로 한다. 본 논문에서는 LBS에 대한 전반적인 사항을 분석하여 문제점을 도출하고, LBS Privacy 문제점을 보호할 수 있는 방안을 제시한다. 최종적으로 제안된 모델은 차세대 LBS 시스템의 개인정보 및 Privacy 보호를 위한 기술적인 대안을 제시하였으며, 차세대 이동통신의 기반 기술이 될 것으로 기대한다.

We propose a privacy-preserving location-based service (LBS) which supports top-k search service. The previous schemes hurt the privacy of either the user and the location of the objects because they are sent to the LBS server in a plaintext form. In the proposed method, by encrypting them with the fully-homomorphic encryption, we achieved the top-k search is possible while the information on them is not given to the LBS server. We performed a simulation on the proposed scheme with 16 locations where k is 3. The required time is 270 hours in a conventional desktop machine, which seems infeasible to be used in practice. However, as the progress of the hardware, the performance will be improved.

Location-Based Services(LBS) are a general class of computer program-level services used to include specific controls for location data as control features in computer programs. In recent years, the number of smart device(Smart Phone, Tablet PC etc.) users growth was exponential. For that reason, using rate of LBS has drastically increased. The most important thing of LBS is security. Personal information, especially private information likes illness, should not be disclosed. In this paper shows how to attack LBS and how to defense it.

Aimed at the disclosure risk of mobile terminal user's location privacy in location-based services, a location-privacy protection scheme based on similar trajectory substitution is proposed. On the basis of the anonymized identities of users and candidates who request LBS, this scheme adopts trajectory similarity function to select the candidate whose trajectory is the most similar to user's at certain time intervals, then the selected candidate substitutes user to send LBS request, so as to protect user's privacy like identity, query and trajectory. Security analyses prove that this scheme is able to guarantee such security features as anonymity, non-forgeability, resistance to continuous query tracing attack and wiretapping attack. And the results of simulation experiment demonstrate that this scheme remarkably improve the optimal candidate' trajectory similarity and selection efficiency.
