This invention relates to a location
privacy protection method in an
edge computing location service
scenario, which generates a fake location for a user within the coverage area of all edge nodes that directly provide services to the user A. The method includes: S1: Let E = {e1, e2, ..., e...}, where E is the set of edge nodes that directly provide services to user A. n}. Using user A's real location P as the center, obtain a circle C that is inscribed within the coverage area of each
edge node in set E; S2: Add a
noise vector to user A's real location P to obtain a false location P', ensuring that the false location P' is within the coverage area of circle C; S3: Upload the false location P' to each
edge node e in set E. i This invention provides location services. The
advantage of this invention is that, in
edge computing scenarios, it generates a fake user location within the coverage area of all edge nodes directly providing services to that user, making it impossible for malicious edge nodes to identify the authenticity of the fake location.
