Location privacy preserving location based service with Tor

[Xinwen Fu]

Dear All,

We integrated Tor with a location based service to implement a location
privacy preserving location based service.
1. Tor is used to hide the identity (IP) of a user, who sends her location
to a location based service server for points of interest. Hiding IP is also
necessary for hiding the user location since IP may imply the user's
location.
2. Of course, the user's location coordinates are also perturbed to hide her
exact location.

Here is the link of the software:

Happy new year!

Xinwen Fu
