Title
Trajectory Anonymization: Balancing Usefulness about Position Information and Timestamp
Abstract
Movement trajectories can provide useful information for all fields. However, they may have high privacy parameters, sharing trajectory data with other operators without anonymization carries the risk of linking movement trajectories to individuals. Therefore, it is necessary to consider applying privacy protection to trajectory data. Anonymization indicators, such as k-anonymity are generally adopted for anonymization of trajectory data. Some studies modify position information to achieve anonymity. This modification sometimes produces inaccuracies in data sets. In this study, to reduce the modification distance of the position, we propose an algorithm that allows the mismatch of time when the position information is acquired within a certain range. Further, we define indicators that represent distortions of position and time information. As a result of comparing the proposed method and the existing method, the usefulness of the proposed method is shown.
