内容:

Huge volume of spatio-temporal data is generated with the advances of sensing techniques and computing capability. It provides us great opportunities to study mobility patterns to enhance our living qualities while it also raises privacy issues when collecting individuals' trajectories. In this presentation, I describe geometric algorithms to sense trajectories, mine mobility patterns, and protect individuals' privacy. 

Instead of using location devices equipped by mobile entities (vehicles, pedestrians, etc.), we employ checkpoints (roadside units, WiFi access points, cellular towers, etc.) to record appearances of the mobile entities.

We apply a hierarchical data structure based on a succinct differential private MinHash signature to frequent traffic patterns efficiently.  

We also demonstrate an adversary can re-identify individuals through frequent location attack, co-location attacks and motif attacks. We introduce an approach mixing ID during the co-location events. The performance of the approach is effective theoretically and empirically to defeat statistical attacks.
