【 摘 要 】

With the increasing prevalence of different mobile apps, many applications require users to enable the location serviceon their devices. For example, the geofence service can be defined as establishing virtual geographical boundaries. Enablingthis service triggers entering and exiting the boundary area and notifies the users and trusted third parties. The foremost concernof using geofence is the privacy of location coordinates shared among different applications. In this paper, a framework called‘TIET-GEO’ is proposed that allows users to define the geofence boundary; in addition, it monitors Global Positioning System(GPS) devices in real-time when they enter/exit a specific area. The proposed framework also proposes a dummy privacypreservation algorithm to generate K-dummy locations around the real trajectories when the user requests the Point Of Interest(POI) from the Location-Based Services (LBS). This article aims to enhance the location privacy preservation in geofenceservice, by generating a k-dummy location around the user location based on the radius size of the geofence area. The proposedframework uses token keys authentication to authorize the users in the Vehicular Cloud Network (VCN) service by generatingsecret token keys authentication between the client and services. The results obtained show the effectiveness of the proposedframework was on parameters like flexibility and reliability of responses from different sources, such as smart IoT devices anddatasets.
