Abstract - Co-location information about users is more and
more available online. For example mobile users more and
more normally details their co-locations with other users in
the message and in the pictures they post on social
networking websites by tagging the names of the friends
they are with. The users' IP addresses also compose a source
of co-location information. Combine with location
information, such co-locations can be used to develop the
suggestion of the users' locations, thus more intimidating
their location privacy: As co-location information is taken
into account, not only a user's report locations and mobility
pattern can be used to limit her, but also those of her friends.
In this paper, we study this problem by quantify the effect of
co-location information on location privacy consider a
challenger such as a social network operator that has access
to such information. We formalize the problem and receive
optimal suggestion algorithms that incorporate such co-
location information, yet at the cost of high complexity. We
propose some estimated suggestion algorithms, including a
solution that relies on the idea broadcast algorithm
executed on a general Bayesian network model, and we
extensively evaluate their presentation. Our new results
show that, even in the case where the supporter considers
co-locations of the targeted user with a single friend, the
median location privacy of the user is decrease by up to 62
percent in a typical setting. We also study the effect of the
different parameters in different scenario.

1. INTRODUCTION
Social networks, and in particular location-based social
networks, have become very popular. Every day, millions
of users post information, include their locations, about
themselves, but also about their friends. A rising
development which is the focus of this paper is to report
co-locations with other users on social networks, the
tagging friends on pictures they upload or in the messages
they post. For example our initial survey involving 132
foursquare users, recruit through Amazon Mechanical
Turk, reveals that 55.3% of the participant report co-
locations in their check-ins and that for the users who do
so, on average, 2.8 of their check-ins contain co-location
information. In fact, co-location information can be
obtained in many different ways, such as automatic face
identification on pictures (which contains the time and
location at which the picture was taken in their EXIF data.
Face book’s Photo Magic Bluetooth-enabled device sniff
and coverage next devices. Also, users who connect from
the same IP address are likely to be friendly to the same
Internet access point, thus providing proof of their co-
location. Attack exploits both location and co-location
information can be quite powerful, as we show in this
paper. Depicts and describe two instance in which co-
location can develop the performance of a localization
attack, thus debasing the location privacy of the users
involved. It is clear that the proper use of such information
by an attacker can be complex because he has to consider
jointly the co-location information collected about a
potentially large number of users. This is due to the fact
that, in the incidence of co-location information, a user’s
location is connected with that of her friends, which is in
turn connected to that of their own friends and so on.
2. SYSTEM MODEL AND FORMALIZATION
We think a set of mobile users who move in a given
physical area. While on the go, users make use of some
online services to which they communicate potentially
obfuscated location and co-location information. Note that
such information could be communicated by coincidence
by the users (e.g., leaked from the IP addresses) without
their even knowing it. We consider that a curious service
provider wants to infer the location of the users from this
information, so track them over time. In order to carry out
the thought attack, based on which the location privacy of
the users is evaluate the supporter would model the users
as describe below. Our model is built upon and uses
similar notations.
3. OPTIMAL LOCALIZATION ATTACK
With co-location information and under the assumption
describe in the before section, the localization problem
translate to solving an HMM deduction problem, for which

the forward-backward algorithm is a known solution.
Basically, the forward-backward algorithm defines
forward and backward variables that take into account the
clarification by and after time in that order. The forward
variable is the joint chance of location of user at time and
all the explanation up to, and including, time. The
backward variable is the qualified chance of all notes after
time given the actual location of user at that time on the
spot. Then, the posterior chance distribution of the
possible locations for the targeted user is obtain by
combining the forward and backward variables. With co-
location information, the locations of the users are not
commonly free: as soon as two users are co-located at
some point in time their locations, before and after time
become reliant.
4. APPROXIMATE LOCALIZATION ATTACK
We propose two low-complexity alternatives for the stage
approximate localization attacks. Basically, the first charily
selects a small set of users to consider when attacking an
object user and perform an optimal joint localization
attack on this small set of users consider only the co-
locations between these users. The idea behind this
heuristic is that the locations of a user are much connected
with those of only a limited number of users a few co-
workers during work hours, and her family and close
friends the relax of the time. The second alternative makes
use of all presented location and co-location information
but only performs an approximate localization attacks.
5 .DIFFERENTIAL-PRIVACY PERSPECTIVES
We complement our inferential approach to privacy
quantification, existing in the before sections, with a short
analysis of the effect of co-locations on users’ location
privacy from a gap-privacy perspective. In the geo-in make
out ability framework each study has a privacy cost that
depends on the level of noise added by the device used
(typically haggard from a planar Laplace distribution). For
example, in order to promise differential privacy, one must
begin noise with amplitude such that the expected distance
between the actual location and the reported location is
proportional. Consider the case of a single time on the
spot. If two co-located users each report one obfuscated
version of their actual locations, the adversary has access
to two notes of the same variable, common location.
Following the compos ability property of differential
privacy, this means that, to guarantee differential privacy
for the users’ location, each person reported obfuscated
location should please differential privacy data.
6. EXPERIMENTAL EVALUATIONS
Using a dataset of mobility traces, we assess the result of
co-locations on users’ privacy, with value to the various
localization attacks existing in the before section.

7. CONCLUSION
We have study the effect on users’ location privacy when
co-location information is presented, in addition to
personality location information. To the best of our
knowledge, this is the first paper to calculate the effects of
co-location information that stems from social relations
between users on location privacy; as such it constitute a
first step towards bridge the gap between study on
location privacy and social networks. In fact, most study on
geo-location and social networks look at how social tie can
be conditional from co-locations between those and how
social ties can be used to de-a minimize mobility traces.
We have shown that, by consider the users’ locations
jointly, a challenger can exploit co-location information to
better localize users, hence lessening their person privacy.
