Abstract

Abstract : Nowadays, privacy in trajectory is an important issue in the coming big data era. In order to provide better protection for trajectory privacy, a number of solutions have been proposed in the literature, and the dummy trajectory method has attracted great interests in both academia and industry recently due to the following advantages:( 1 ) neither a third-party server nor other parties' cooperation is necessary;( 2 ) location-based services are not influenced; and( 3 ) its algorithm is relatively simple and efficient. However, most of trajectory privacy generations usually consider the geometric shape of the trajectory; meanwhile the real human mobility feature is usually neglected. In fact, the real trajectory is not the product of random probability. In this paper, convolutional neural network (CNN) is used as the learning machine to train with lots of the real trajectory and the generated dummy trajectory sets. Then, the trained classifier is used to distinguish the dummy from the real trajectory. Experiments demonstrate that the method using CNN is very efficient, and more than 90% of dummy trajectories can be detected. Moreover, the real trajectory erroneous judgment rate is below 10% for most of real trajectories.
