Abstract

In this paper, we propose a new scheme, protecting information about the location of a mobile user against attacks from inside users of the mobile communication, especially the network providers. There have already been some proposals about how to protect location information of user in mobile communication environments[1-5]. Among them, Kesdogan et al.[2,3] proposed a new method, using so-called temporary pseudonyms and also described protection method against a passive and an active attack of network providers. However, the description of protection method against the active attack between the two is not clear. Moreover, there is an additional load that it should append a reachability manager[1,6] to the proposed system. Therefore, we propose a new scheme improving the above method of Kesdogan et al. and analyze its security and effectiveness.
