| Abstract | Proximity services alert users about the presence of other users or moving objects based on their distance. Distance preserving transformations are among the techniques that may be used to avoid revealing the actual position of users while still effectively providing these services. Some of the proposed transformations have been shown to actually guarantee location privacy with the assumption that users are uniformly distributed in the considered geographical region, which is unrealistic assumption when the region extends to a county, a state or a country. In this paper we describe a location privacy attack that, only using partial information about the distances between users and public knowledge on the average density of population, can discover the approximate position of users on a map, independently on the fake or hidden position assigned to them by a privacy preserving algorithm. We implement this attack with an algorithm and we experimentally evaluate it showing that it is practically feasible and that partial distance information like the one exchanged in common friend-finder services can be sufficient to violate users' privacy. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
