Protecting Location Privacy for Task Allocation in Ad Hoc Mobile Cloud Computing

ABSTRACT:

Mobile cloud computing is an emerging cloud computing paradigm that integrates cloud computing and mobile computing to enable many useful mobile applications. However, the large-scale deployment of mobile cloud computing is hindered by the concerns on possible privacy leakage. In this paper, we investigate the privacy issues in the ad hoc mobile cloud computing, and propose a framework that can protect the location privacy when allocating tasks to mobile devices. Our mechanism is based on differential privacy and geocast, and allows mobile devices to contribute their resources to the ad hoc mobile cloud without leaking their location information. We develop analytical models and task allocation strategies that balance privacy, utility, and system overhead in an ad hoc mobile cloud. We also conduct extensive experiments based on real-world datasets, and the results show that our framework can protect location privacy for mobile devices while providing effective services with low system overhead.
