Abstract EN
Crowdsourcing mobile applications are of increasing importance due to their suitability in providing personalized and better matching replies.
The competitive edge of crowdsourcing is twofold; the requestors can achieve better and/or cheaper responses while the crowd contributors can achieve extra money by utilizing their free time or resources.
Crowdsourcing location-based services inherit the querying mechanism from their legacy predecessors and this is where the threat lies.
In this paper, we are going to show that none of the advanced privacy notions found in the literature except for K -anonymity is suitable for crowdsourced location-based services.
In addition, we are going to prove mathematically, using an attack we developed, that K -anonymity does not satisfy the privacy level needed by such services.
To respond to this emerging threat, we will propose a new concept, totally different from existing resource consuming privacy notions, to handle user privacy using Mobile Cloud Computing.
