Abstract EN
Privacy has been found to be the major impediment and hence the area to be worked out for the provision of Location Based Services in the wide sense.
With the emergence of smart, easily portable, communicating devices, information acquisition is achieving new domains.
The work presented here is an extension of the ongoing work towards achieving privacy for the present day emerging communication techniques.
This work emphasizes one of the most effective real-time privacy enhancement techniques called Mix-Zones.
In this paper, we have presented a model of a secure road network with Mix-Zones getting activated on the basis of spatial as well as temporal factors.
The temporal factors are ascertained by the amount of traffic and its flow.
The paper also discusses the importance of the number of Mix-Zones a user traverses and their mixing effectiveness.
We have also shown here using our simulations which are required for the real-time treatment of the problem that the proposed transient Mix-Zones are part of a viable and robust solution towards the road network privacy protection of the communicating moving objects of the present scenario.
