1. INTRODUCTION

Location-aware smart phones support various location-based services (LBSs): users

query the LBS server and learn on the fly about their surroundings. However, such queries give

away private information, enabling the LBS to track users. A user-collaborative privacy-

preserving approach is proposed for LBSs. This solution does not require changing the LBS

server architecture and does not assume third party servers; yet, it significantly improves users’

location privacy.

The gain stems from the collaboration of mobile devices: they keep their context

information in a buffer and pass it to others seeking such information. Thus, a user remains

hidden from the server, unless all the collaborative peers in the vicinity lack the sought

information. A novel epidemic model is developed to capture possibly time-dependent, dynamics

of information propagation among users. Used in the Bayesian inference framework, this model

helps analyze the effects of various parameters, such as users’ querying rates and the lifetime of

context information, on users’ location privacy.

The results show that our scheme hides a high fraction of location-based queries, thus

significantly enhancing users’ location privacy. Finally, implementation indicates that it is

lightweight and the cost of collaboration is negligible.

We have proposed a novel analytical framework to quantify location privacy of our

distributed protocol. Our epidemic model captures the hiding probability for user locations, i.e.,

the fraction of times when, due to MobiCrowd, the adversary does not observe user queries. By

relying on this model, our Bayesian inference attack estimates the location of users when they

hide. Our extensive joint epidemic/Bayesian analysis shows a significant improvement thanks to

MobiCrowd, across both the individual and the average mobility prior knowledge scenarios for

the adversary. We have demonstrated the resource efficiency of MobiCrowd by implementing it

in portable devices.

2. LITERATURE SURVEY

We propose a novel framework for measuring and evaluating location privacy preserving

mechanisms in mobile wireless networks. Within this framework, we first present a formal

model of the system, which provides an efficient representation of the network users, the

adversaries, the location privacy preserving mechanisms and the resulting location privacy of the

users. This model is general enough to accurately express and analyze a variety of location

privacy metrics that were proposed earlier. By using the proposed model, we provide formal

representations of four metrics among the most relevant categories of location privacy metrics.

We also present a detailed comparative analysis of these metrics based on a set of criteria for

location privacy measurement. Finally, we propose a novel and effective metric for measuring

location privacy, called the distortion-based metric, which satisfies these criteria for privacy

measurement and is capable of capturing the mobile users’ location privacy more precisely than

the existing metrics. Our metric estimates location privacy as the expected distortion in the

reconstructed users’ trajectories by an adversary.

Individuals face privacy risks when providing personal location data to potentially

untrusted location based services (LBSs). We develop and demonstrate Cache Cloak, a system

that enables real time anonymization of location data. In Cache Cloak, a trusted anonymizing

server generates mobility predictions from historical data and submits intersecting predicted

paths simultaneously to the LBS. Each new predicted path is made to intersect with other users’

paths, ensuring that no individual user’s path can be reliably tracked over time. Mobile users

retrieve cached query responses for successive new locations from the trusted server, triggering

new prediction only when no cached response is available for their current locations. A

simulated hostile LBS with detailed mobility pattern data attempts to track users of Cache Cloak,

generating a quantitative measure of location privacy over time. GPS data from a GIS-based

traffic simulation in an urban environment shows that Cache Cloak can achieve real time

location privacy without loss of location accuracy or availability.

2.1. X Share

Loaded with personal data, e.g. photos, contacts, and call history, mobile phones are truly

personal devices. Yet it is often necessary or desirable to share our phones with others. This is

especially true as mobile phones are integrating features conventionally provided by other

dedicated devices, from MP3 players to games consoles. Unfortunately, when we lend our

phones to others, we give away complete access because existing phones assume a single user

and provide little protection for private data and applications. In this work, we present xShare, a

protection solution to address this problem. X Share allows phone owners to rapidly specify what

they want to share and place the phone into a restricted mode where only the data and

applications intended for sharing can be accessed.

We first present findings from two motivational user studies based on which we provide

the design requirements of X Share. We then present the design of X Share based on file level

access control. We describe the implementation of xShare on Windows Mobile and report a

comprehensive usability evaluation of the implementation, including measurements and user

studies. The evaluation demonstrates that our X Share implementation has negligible overhead

for interactive phone usage, is extremely favored by mobile users, and provides robust protection

against attacks by experienced Windows Mobile users and developers.

2.2. De-anonymizing Mobility Traces

Location-based services, which employ data from smartphones, vehicles, etc., are

growing in popularity. To reduce the threat that shared location data poses to a user’s privacy,

some services anonymize or obfuscate this data. In this paper, we show these methods can be

effectively defeated: a set of location traces can be deanonymized given an easily obtained social

network graph. The key idea of our approach is that a user may be identified by those she meets:

a contact graph identifying meetings between anonymized users in a set of traces can be

structurally correlated with a social network graph, thereby identifying anonymized users. We

demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach using three real world datasets: University of St

Andrews mobility trace and social network (27 nodes each), small blue contact trace and

Facebook social network (125 nodes), and Infocom 2006 Bluetooth contact traces and

conference attendees’ DBLP social network (78 nodes). Our experiments show that 80% of users

Department of CSE 3 TKRCET

HIDING IN THE MOBILE CROWD LOCATION PRIVACY THROUGH GEO-SOCIAL APPLICATIONS

are identified precisely, while only 8% are identified incorrectly, with the remainder mapped to a

small set of users.

2.3. System StudyThe analysis of the existing system has to be carried to learn the details of the existing

system. System analysis is the process of gathering and interpreting facts, diagnosing problems

and using the information to recommend improvements to the system. Only after the system’s

analysis we can begin to determine how and where a computer information system can benefit

all the users of the system. This accumulation of the system called a system’s study.

2.3.1. Existing system

System which is already present in the market is called existing system. To enhance

privacy for LBS users several solutions have been proposed and two main categories are

Centralized and

User-centric

2.3.1.1. Centralized approaches

Centralized approaches introduce a third party in the system, which protects users’

privacy by operating between the user and the LBS. Such an intermediary proxy server could

anonymize queries by removing any information that identifies the user or her device.

It could blend a user’s query with those of other users, so that the LBS server always sees a

group of queries.

2.3.1.2. User-centric approaches

User-centric approaches operate on the device. Typically they aim to blur the location

information by, for example, having the user’s smartphone submit inaccurate, noisy GPS

coordinates to the LBS server.

Department of CSE 4 TKRCET

Page 5: azd document

HIDING IN THE MOBILE CROWD LOCATION PRIVACY THROUGH GEO-SOCIAL APPLICATIONS

Disadvantages of centralized approaches and user centric approaches

The threat of an untrustworthy LBS server is addressed by the introduction of a new

third-party server. Additionally, new proxy servers become as attractive for attackers as

centralized LBSs.

Other centralized approaches require the LBS to change its operation by, for example,

mandating that it process modified queries, or that it store data differently.

Centralized interventions or substantial changes to the LBS operation would be hard to

adopt, simply because the LBS providers would have little incentive to fundamentally

change their operation.

Obfuscation approaches that protect user location-privacy can degrade the user experi-

ence if users need high privacy, e.g., LBS responses would be inaccurate or un time.

2.3.2. Proposed system

Applying a slight modification to the existing System is called proposed system.

Proposed system avoids the privacy problems of users by collaborate with each other to

jointly improve their privacy, without the need for a trusted third-party (TTP).

In effect, the mobile crowd acts as a TTP, and the protection mechanism becomes a dis-

tributed protocol among users.

Mobile users concerned about their location privacy are indeed the most motivated to en-

gage in protecting themselves.

MobiCrowd, is that users only contact the LBS server if they cannot find the sought in-

formation among their peers, i.e., other nearby reachable user devices.

The places where people gather are points of interest, where users are most likely to

query LBS. Thus, MobiCrowd would be used exactly where it is most effective.

Advantages of proposed system

Users can minimize their location information leakage by hiding in the crowd.

MobiCrowd would be most effective when there are many peers gathered at the same lo-

cation.

3. SYSTEM REQUIREMENT SPECIFICATION

Basically every system needs two types of requirements they are as follows

1. Software requirements

2. Hardware requirements

3.1. Software RequirementsThe software requirements are description of features and functionalities of the target sys-

tem. Requirements convey the expectations of users from the software product. And our system

software requirements are as follows

Operating System : Windows Family

Language : JDK 1.5

Front End : Java

Database : My SQL 5.0

3.1.1. Operating system

The operating system is the most important program that runs on a computer. Every

general-purpose computer must have an operating system to run other programs. Operating

systems perform basic tasks, such as recognizing input from the keyboard, sending output to

the display screen, keeping track of files and directories on the disk, and controlling peripheral

devices such as disk drives and printers.

3.1.2. JDK 1. 5

The Java Development Kit (JDK) is an implementation of either one of the Java SE, Java

EE or Java ME platforms released by Oracle Corporation. The JDK includes a private JVM and a

few other resources to finish the recipe to a Java Application. Since the introduction of the

Java platform, it has been by far the most widely used Software Development Kit.

Department of CSE 6 TKRCET

Page 7: azd document

HIDING IN THE MOBILE CROWD LOCATION PRIVACY THROUGH GEO-SOCIAL APPLICATIONS

3.1.3. Java

Java is a  high-level programming language developed by Sun Microsystems. Java was

originally called OAK. Java is an object-oriented language similar to C++, but simplified to

eliminate language features that cause common programming errors. 

3.1.4. My SQL

My SQL is a relational database management system (RDBMS) based on SQL (struc-

tured query language).it is used in our application to store the details of the requested query

users .

3.2. Hardware RequirementsHardware requirements are can be defined as minimal requirement parts of the CPU to

run the system. And our minimal hardware requirements are as follows

Processor : Any Processor above 500 MHz

Ram : 128 MB.

Hard Disk : 10 GB.

Compact Disk : 650 MB

Input device : Standard Keyboard and Mouse

Output device : VGA and High Resolution Monitor.

3.2.1. Processor

A processor is the logic circuitry that responds to and processes the basic instructions that

drive a computer. The term processor has generally replaced the term central processing unit, the

processor in a personal computer or embedded in small devices is often called a microprocessor.

3.2.2. RAM

RAM is called as random access memory, it is temporary workspace where instructions

are executed and data is processed.RAM is temporary storage for the software it stores all the

data up to system turn off.

3.2.3. Hard disk

Department of CSE 7 TKRCET

Page 8: azd document

HIDING IN THE MOBILE CROWD LOCATION PRIVACY THROUGH GEO-SOCIAL APPLICATIONS

 Magnetic disk on which you can store computer data, the term hard is used to distinguish

it from a soft, or floppy, disk. Hard disks hold more data and are faster than floppy disks. A hard

disk, for example, can store anywhere from 10 to more than 100 gigabytes, whereas most

floppies have a maximum storage capacity of 1.4 megabytes.

3.2.4. Compact disk

Compact disc is a polycarbonate with one or more metal layers capable of storing digital

information. The most prevalent types of compact discs are those used by the music industry to

store digital recordings and CD-ROMs used to store computer data. Both of these types of

compact disc are read-only, which means that once the data has been recorded onto them, they

can only be read, or played.

3.3.5. Input devices

An input device for a computer allows you to enter information. The most fundamental

pieces of information are keystrokes on a keyboard and clicks with a mouse. These two input de-

vices are essential for you to interact with your computer. Many other input devices exist for en-

tering other types of information, such as images, audio and video. Input devices represent one

type of computer peripheral - the other two types are output devices and storage devices.

3.3.6. Output devices

An output device refers to user-computer communication devices and devices used for

communication between computers, devices and other peripherals, which may be used for

input/output (I/O) purposes, like network interface cards (NIC), modems, IR ports, RFID

systems and wireless networking devices, as well as mechanical output devices, like solenoids,

motors and other electromechanical devices.

3.3. Java Java is a high level programming language and it is platform independent.java iss

implemented from C++ language has overcame all the errors are exist in the C++ language. And

it is open source language any body can access it and can implement in their own style.

3.3.1. The Java Programming Language

Department of CSE 8 TKRCET

Page 9: azd document

HIDING IN THE MOBILE CROWD LOCATION PRIVACY THROUGH GEO-SOCIAL APPLICATIONS

The Java programming language is a high-level language that can be characterized by all

of the following buzzwords:

Simple

Architecture neutral

Object oriented

Portable

Distributed

High performance

Robust

Dynamic

Secure

With most programming languages, you either compile or interpret a program so that you

can run it on your computer. The Java programming language is unusual in that a program is

both compiled and interpreted. With the compiler, first you translate a program into an interme-

diate language called Java byte codes the platform-independent codes interpreted by the inter-

preter on the Java platform. The interpreter parses and runs each Java byte code instruction on

the computer. Compilation happens just once; interpretation occurs each time the program is exe-

cuted. The following figure illustrates how this works.

Fig.3.3.1.1.java compiler

You can think of Java byte codes as the machine code instructions for the Java Virtual

Machine (JVM). Every Java interpreter, whether it’s a development tool or a Web browser that

can run applets, is an implementation of the JVM. Java byte codes help make “write once, run

Department of CSE 9 TKRCET

Page 10: azd document

HIDING IN THE MOBILE CROWD LOCATION PRIVACY THROUGH GEO-SOCIAL APPLICATIONS

anywhere” possible. You can compile your program into byte codes on any platform that has a

Java compiler. The byte codes can then be run on any implementation of the JVM. That means

that as long as a computer has a JVM, the same program written in the Java programming

language can run on Windows 2000, a Solaris workstation, or on an iMac.

Fig.3.3.1.2.java virtual machine

3.3.2. The java platform

A platform is the hardware or software environment in which a program runs. We have

already mentioned some of the most popular platforms like Windows 2000, Linux, Solaris, and

Mac OS. Most platforms can be described as a combination of the operating system and

hardware. The Java platform differs from most other platforms in that it’s a software-only

platform that runs on top of other hardware-based platforms.

The Java platform has two components

The Java Virtual Machine (JVM)

The Java Application Programming Interface (Java API)

You have already been introduced to the JVM. It is the base for the Java platform and is ported

onto various hardware-based platforms. The Java API is a large collection of ready-made

software components that provide many useful capabilities, such as graphical user interface

(GUI) widgets. The Java API is grouped into libraries of related classes and interfaces; these

Department of CSE 10 TKRCET

Page 11: azd document

HIDING IN THE MOBILE CROWD LOCATION PRIVACY THROUGH GEO-SOCIAL APPLICATIONS

libraries are known as packages. The next section, what can java technology do? Highlights what

functionality some of the packages in the Java API provide.

The following figure depicts a program that’s running on the Java platform. As the figure

shows, the Java API and the virtual machine insulate the program from the hardware.

Fig.3.3.2.1.java flatform

Native code is code that after you compile it, the compiled code runs on a specific hard-

ware platform. As a platform-independent environment, the Java platform can be a bit slower

than native code. However, smart compilers, well-tuned interpreters, and just-in-time byte code

compilers can bring performance close to that of native code without threatening portability.

3.3.3. What can java technology do?

The most common types of programs written in the Java programming language are

applets and applications. If you have surf the web, you are probably already familiar with

applets. An applet is a program that adheres to certain conventions that allow it to run within a

Java-enabled browser. However, the Java programming language is not just for writing cute,

entertaining applets for the web. The general-purpose, high-level Java programming language is

also a powerful software platform. Using the generous API, you can write many types of

programs.

Department of CSE 11 TKRCET

Page 12: azd document

HIDING IN THE MOBILE CROWD LOCATION PRIVACY THROUGH GEO-SOCIAL APPLICATIONS

An application is a standalone program that runs directly on the Java platform. A special

kind of application known as a server serves and supports clients on a network. Examples of

servers are web servers, proxy servers, mail servers, and print servers. Another specialized pro-

gram is a servlet. A servlet can almost be thought of as an applet that runs on the server side.

Java Servlets are a popular choice for building interactive web applications, replacing the use of

CGI scripts. Servlets are similar to applets in that they are runtime extensions of applications. In-

stead of working in browsers, though, servlets run within Java Web servers, configuring or tai-

loring the server.

How does the API support all these kinds of programs? It does so with packages of soft-

ware components that provides a wide range of functionality. Every full implementation of the

Java platform gives you the following features:

The essentials: Objects, strings, threads, numbers, input and output, data struc-

tures, system properties, date and time, and so on.

Applets: The set of conventions used by applets.

Networking: URLs, TCP (Transmission Control Protocol), UDP (User Data gram

Protocol) sockets, and IP (Internet Protocol) addresses.

Internationalization: Help for writing programs that can be localized for users

worldwide. Programs can automatically adapt to specific locales and be displayed

in the appropriate language.

Security: Both low level and high level, including electronic signatures, public

and private key management, access control, and certificates.

Software components: Known as Java Beans, can plug into existing component

architectures.

Object serialization: Allows lightweight persistence and communication via Re-

mote Method Invocation (RMI).

Java Database Connectivity (JDBC): Provides uniform access to a wide range

of relational databases.

The Java platform also has APIs for 2D and 3D graphics, accessibility, servers,

collaboration, telephony, speech, animation, and more. The following figure depicts what is

included in the Java 2 SDK.

3.3.4. How will java technology change my life?

We can’t promise you fame, fortune, or even a job if you learn the Java programming

language. Still, it is likely to make your programs better and requires less effort than other lan-

guages. We believe that Java technology will help you do the following:

Get started quickly: Although the Java programming language is a powerful ob-

ject-oriented language, it’s easy to learn, especially for programmers already fa-

miliar with C or C++.

Write less code: Comparisons of program metrics (class counts, method counts,

and so on) suggest that a program written in the Java programming language can

be four times smaller than the same program in C++.

Write better code: The Java programming language encourages good coding

practices, and its garbage collection helps you avoid memory leaks. Its object ori-

entation, its JavaBeans component architecture, and its wide-ranging, easily ex-

tendible API let you reuse other people’s tested code and introduce fewer bugs.

Develop programs more quickly: Your development time may be as much as

twice as fast versus writing the same program in C++. Why? You write fewer

lines of code and it is a simpler programming language than C++.

Department of CSE 13 TKRCET

Page 14: azd document

HIDING IN THE MOBILE CROWD LOCATION PRIVACY THROUGH GEO-SOCIAL APPLICATIONS

Avoid platform dependencies with 100% Pure java: You can keep your pro-

gram portable by avoiding the use of libraries written in other languages. The

100% Pure Java Product Certification Program has a repository of historical

process manuals, white papers, brochures, and similar materials online.

Write once, run anywhere: Because 100% Pure Java programs are compiled into

machine-independent byte codes, they run consistently on any Java platform.

Distribute software more easily: You can upgrade applets easily from a central

server. Applets take advantage of the feature of allowing new classes to be loaded

“on the fly,” without recompiling the entire program.

3.4. ODBC Microsoft Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) is a standard programming interface for

application developers and database systems providers. Before ODBC became a de facto stan-

dard for Windows programs to interface with database systems, programmers had to use propri-

etary languages for each database they wanted to connect to. Now, ODBC has made the choice

of the database system almost irrelevant from a coding perspective, which is as it should be. Ap-

plication developers have much more important things to worry about than the syntax that is

needed to port their program from one database to another when business needs suddenly

change.

Through the ODBC Administrator in Control Panel, you can specify the particular data-

base that is associated with a data source that an ODBC application program is written to use.

Think of an ODBC data source as a door with a name on it. Each door will lead you to a particu-

lar database. For example, the data source named Sales Figures might be a SQL Server database,

whereas the Accounts Payable data source could refer to an Access database. The physical data-

base referred to by a data source can reside anywhere on the LAN.

The ODBC system files are not installed on your system by Windows 95. Rather, they

are installed when you setup a separate database application, such as SQL Server Client or

Visual Basic 4.0. When the ODBC icon is installed in Control Panel, it uses a file called

ODBCINST.DLL. It is also possible to administer your ODBC data sources through a stand-

alone program called ODBCADM.EXE. There is a 16-bit and a 32-bit version of this program

and each maintains a separate list of ODBC data sources. From a programming perspective, the

Department of CSE 14 TKRCET

Page 15: azd document

HIDING IN THE MOBILE CROWD LOCATION PRIVACY THROUGH GEO-SOCIAL APPLICATIONS

beauty of ODBC is that the application can be written to use the same set of function calls to

interface with any data source, regardless of the database vendor. The source code of the

application doesn’t change whether it talks to Oracle or SQL Server. We only mention these two

as an example. There are ODBC drivers available for several dozen popular database systems.

Even Excel spreadsheets and plain text files can be turned into data sources. The operating

system uses the registry information written by ODBC Administrator to determine which low-

level ODBC drivers are needed to talk to the data source (such as the interface to Oracle or SQL

Server). The loading of the ODBC drivers is transparent to the ODBC application program. In a

client/server environment, the ODBC API even handles many of the network issues for the

application programmer.

The advantages of this scheme are so numerous that you are probably thinking there must

be some catch. The only disadvantage of ODBC is that it isn’t as efficient as talking directly to

the native database interface. ODBC has had many detractors make the charge that it is too slow.

Microsoft has always claimed that the critical factor in performance is the quality of the driver

software that is used. In our humble opinion, this is true. The availability of good ODBC drivers

has improved a great deal recently. And anyway, the criticism about performance is somewhat

analogous to those who said that compilers would never match the speed of pure assembly

language. Maybe not, but the compiler (or ODBC) gives you the opportunity to write cleaner

programs, which means you finish sooner. Meanwhile, computers get faster every year.

3.5. JDBCIn an effort to set an independent database standard API for Java; Sun Microsystems

developed Java Database Connectivity, or JDBC. JDBC offers a generic SQL database access

mechanism that provides a consistent interface to a variety of RDBMSs. This consistent interface

is achieved through the use of “plug-in” database connectivity modules, or drivers. If a database

vendor wishes to have JDBC support, he or she must provide the driver for each platform that the

database and Java run on.

To gain a wider acceptance of JDBC, Sun based JDBC’s framework on ODBC. As you

discovered earlier in this chapter, ODBC has widespread support on a variety of platforms.

Basing JDBC on ODBC will allow vendors to bring JDBC drivers to market much faster than

developing a completely new connectivity solution.

Department of CSE 15 TKRCET

Page 16: azd document

HIDING IN THE MOBILE CROWD LOCATION PRIVACY THROUGH GEO-SOCIAL APPLICATIONS

JDBC was announced in March of 1996. It was released for a 90 day public review that

ended June 8, 1996. Because of user input, the final JDBC v1.0 specification was released soon

after.

The remainder of this section will cover enough information about JDBC for you to know

what it is about and how to use it effectively. This is by no means a complete overview of JDBC.

That would fill an entire book.

3.5.1. JDBC goals

Few software packages are designed without goals in mind. JDBC is one that, because of

its many goals, drove the development of the API. These goals, in conjunction with early

reviewer feedback, have finalized the JDBC class library into a solid framework for building

database applications in Java.

The goals that were set for JDBC are important. They will give you some insight as to

why certain classes and functionalities behave the way they do. The eight design goals for JDBC

are as follows:

SQL level API

The designers felt that their main goal was to define a SQL interface for Java. Although

not the lowest database interface level possible, it is at a low enough level for higher-level tools

and APIs to be created. Conversely, it is at a high enough level for application programmers to

use it confidently. Attaining this goal allows vendors to “generate” JDBC code and to hide many

of JDBC’s complexities from the end user.

SQL conformance

SQL syntax varies as you move from database vendor to database vendor. In an effort to

support a wide variety of vendors, JDBC will allow any query statement to be passed through it

to the underlying database driver. This allows the connectivity module to handle non-standard

functionality in a manner that is suitable for its users.

Department of CSE 16 TKRCET

Page 17: azd document

HIDING IN THE MOBILE CROWD LOCATION PRIVACY THROUGH GEO-SOCIAL APPLICATIONS

JDBC must be implemental on top of common database interfaces

The JDBC SQL API must “sit” on top of other common SQL level APIs. This goal

allows JDBC to use existing ODBC level drivers by the use of a software interface. This

interface would translate JDBC calls to ODBC and vice versa.

Provide a java interface that is consistent with the rest of the java system

Because of Java’s acceptance in the user community thus far, the designers feel that they

should not stray from the current design of the core Java system.

Keep it simple

This goal probably appears in all software design goal listings. JDBC is no exception.

Sun felt that the design of JDBC should be very simple, allowing for only one method of

completing a task per mechanism. Allowing duplicate functionality only serves to confuse the

users of the API.

Use strong, static typing wherever possible

Strong typing allows for more error checking to be done at compile time; also, less error

appear at runtime.

Keep the common cases simple

Because more often than not, the usual SQL calls used by the programmer are simple

SELECT’s, INSERT’s, DELETE’s and UPDATE’s, these queries should be simple to perform

with JDBC. However, more complex SQL statements should also be possible. Finally we

decided to proceed the implementation using Java Networking. And for dynamically updating

the cache table we go for MS Access database.

Java ha two things: a programming language and a platform. Java is a high-level

programming language that is all of the following

Simple Architecture-neutral

Object-oriented Portable

Distributed High-performance

Interpreted Multithreaded

Department of CSE 17 TKRCET

Page 18: azd document

HIDING IN THE MOBILE CROWD LOCATION PRIVACY THROUGH GEO-SOCIAL APPLICATIONS

You can think of Java byte codes as the machine code instructions for the Java Virtual

Machine (Java VM). Every Java interpreter, whether it’s a Java development tool or a Web

browser that can run Java applets, is an implementation of the Java VM. The Java VM can also

be implemented in hardware.

Java byte codes help make “write once, run anywhere” possible. You can compile your

Java program into byte codes on my platform that has a Java compiler.

The byte codes can then be run any implementation of the JVM. For example, the same Java

program can run Windows NT, Solaris, and Macintosh.

3.6. Networking3.6.1. TCP/IP stack

The TCP/IP stack is shorter than the OSI one. TCP is a connection-oriented protocol;

UDP (User Datagram Protocol) is a connectionless protocol.

Fig.3.6.1.TCP/IP stack

Department of CSE 18 TKRCET

Page 19: azd document

HIDING IN THE MOBILE CROWD LOCATION PRIVACY THROUGH GEO-SOCIAL APPLICATIONS

3.6.2. IP datagram’s

The IP layer provides a connectionless and unreliable delivery system. It considers each

datagram independently of the others. Any association between datagram must be supplied by

the higher layers. The IP layer supplies a checksum that includes its own header. The header

includes the source and destination addresses. The IP layer handles routing through an Internet. It

is also responsible for breaking up large datagram into smaller ones for transmission and

reassembling them at the other end.

3.6.3. UDP

UDP is also connectionless and unreliable. What it adds to IP is a checksum for the

contents of the datagram and port numbers. These are used to give a client/server model - see

later.

3.6.4. TCP

TCP supplies logic to give a reliable connection-oriented protocol above IP. It provides a

virtual circuit that two processes can use to communicate.

3.6.5. Internet addresses

In order to use a service, you must be able to find it. The Internet uses an address scheme

for machines so that they can be located. The address is a 32 bit integer which gives the IP

address. This encodes a network ID and more addressing. The network ID falls into various

classes according to the size of the network address.

3.6.6. Network address

Class A uses 8 bits for the network address with 24 bits left over for other addressing.

Class B uses 16 bit network addressing. Class C uses 24 bit network addressing and class D uses

all 32.

3.6.7. Subnet address

Internally, the UNIX network is divided into sub networks. Building 11 is currently on

one sub network and uses 10-bit addressing, allowing 1024 different hosts.

3.6.8. Host address

8 bits are finally used for host addresses within our subnet. This places a limit of 256

machines that can be on the subnet.

3.6.9. Total address

Fig.3.6.9.1.IP address

The 32 bit address is usually written as 4 integers separated by dots.

3.6.10. Port addresses

A service exists on a host, and is identified by its port. This is a 16 bit number. To send a

message to a server, you send it to the port for that service of the host that it is running on. This

is not location transparency! Certain of these ports are "well known".

3.6.11. Sockets

A socket is a data structure maintained by the system to handle network connections. A

socket is created using the call socket. It returns an integer that is like a file descriptor. In fact,

under Windows, this handle can be used with Read File and Write File functions.

#include <sys/types.h>

#include <sys/socket.h>

int socket(int family, int type, int protocol);

Here "family" will be AF_INET for IP communications, protocol will be zero, and type

will depend on whether TCP or UDP is used. Two processes wishing to communicate over a

network create a socket each. These are similar to two ends of a pipe - but the actual pipe does

not yet exist.

3.7. J Free ChartJ Free Chart is a free 100% Java chart library that makes it easy for developers to display

professional quality charts in their applications. J Free Chart's extensive feature set includes

A consistent and well-documented API, supporting a wide range of chart types. A flexible design

that is easy to extend, and targets both server-side and client-side applications, Support for many

output types, including Swing components, image files (including PNG and JPEG), and vector

graphics file formats (including PDF, EPS and SVG).

J Free Chart is "open source" or, more specifically, free software. It is distributed under

the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL), which permits use in proprietary

applications.

3.7.1. Map visualizations

Charts showing values that relate to geographical areas. Some examples include: (a)

population density in each state of the United States, (b) income per capita for each country in

Europe, (c) life expectancy in each country of the world. The tasks in this project include some

Sourcing freely redistributable vector outlines for the countries of the world, states/provinces in

particular countries (USA in particular, but also other areas); Creating an appropriate dataset

interface (plus default implementation), a rendered, and integrating this with the existing XY

Plot class in J Free Chart; Testing, documenting, testing some more, documenting some more.

3.7.2. Time series chart interactivity

Implement a new (to J Free Chart) feature for interactive time series charts --- to display a

separate control that shows a small version of ALL the time series data, with a sliding "view"

rectangle that allows you to select the subset of the time series data to display in the main chart.

3.7.3. Dash boards

dashboard mechanism that supports a subset of J Free Chart types (dials, pies,

thermometers) that can be delivered easily via both Java Web Start and an applet.

3.7.4. Property editorsThe property editor mechanism in J Free Chart only handles a small subset of the

properties that can be set for charts, Extend (or re-implement) this mechanism to provide greater

end-user control over the appearance of the charts.

3.8. Tomcat 6.0 Web ServerTomcat is an open source web server developed by Apache Group. Apache Tomcat is the

servlet container that is used in the official Reference Implementation for the Java Servlet and

Java Server Pages technologies. The Java Servlet and Java Server Pages specifications are

developed by Sun under the Java Community Process. Web Servers like Apache Tomcat support

only web components while an application server supports web components as well as business

components (BEAs Web logic, is one of the popular application server).To develop a web

application with jsp/servlet install any web server like J Run, Tomcat etc. to run your application.

4. ANALYSIS

4.1 Feasibility Analysis Many feasibility studies are disillusioning for both users and analysts. First, the study

often presupposes that when the feasibility document is being prepared, the analyst is in a

position to evaluate solutions. Second, most studies tend to overlook the confusion inherent in

system development-the constraints and the assumed attitudes. If the feasibility study is to serve

as a decision document, it must answer three key questions

1. Is there a new and better way to do the job that will benefit the user?

2. What are the costs and savings of the alternatives?

3. What is recommended?

The most successful system projects are not necessarily the biggest or most visible in a

business but rather those that truly meet user expectations.

4.1.1. Economic feasibility

Economic analysis is the most frequently used method for evaluating the effectiveness of

a candidate system. More commonly known as cost/benefit analysis, the procedure is to

determine the benefits and savings that are expected from a candidate system and compare them

with costs. If benefits outweigh costs, then the decision is made to design and implement the

system. Otherwise, further justification or alterations in the proposed system will have to be

made if it is to have a chance of being approved. This is an ongoing effort that improves in

accuracy at each phase of the system life cycle.

4.1.2. Technical feasibility

Technical feasibility centers on the existing computer system (hardware, Software, etc.)

and to what extent it can support the proposed addition. For example, if the current computer is

operating at 80 percent capacity-an arbitrary ceiling-then running another application could

overload the system or require additional hardware. This involves financial considerations to

accommodate technical enhancements. If the budget is a serious constraint, then the project is

judged not feasible.

Department of CSE 23 TKRCET

Page 24: azd document

HIDING IN THE MOBILE CROWD LOCATION PRIVACY THROUGH GEO-SOCIAL APPLICATIONS

4.1.3. Operational feasibility

Purpose projects are beneficial only if they can be turned into information systems that

will meet the organization’s operating systems.

Some of the conditions are

a) Is there sufficient support for the project from management and users?

b) Are correct business methods acceptable to the users?

c) Have the users been involved in the planning and development of the project?

d) Will the proposed system cause harm?

4.2. External Interface RequirementsExternal interface requirements are as follows

4.2.1 User interfaces

As the application uses the raw text data in the screens as input and output keyboard can

be used to specify the required information. The mouse can be used to navigate through the

controls and pages by triggering the events on the button controls specified. Additional devices

like monitor can be used to view the input and output screens in the applications.

4.2.2 Hardware interfaces

These requirements are same as in user interfaces and the additional requirements like a

high quality processor with enough RAM space is required to optimize the execution process.

All the above user interfaces can be used for input and output performance and system with good

configuration like virtual memory and process to increase its functionalities.

4.2.3 Software interfaces

As the application is displayed in the user machine it needs to contain the respective

JAVA software, Database provision or data required for inputs. The application is executed

through the command prompt handling the transaction in graphical GUI’s.

Department of CSE 24 TKRCET

Page 25: azd document

HIDING IN THE MOBILE CROWD LOCATION PRIVACY THROUGH GEO-SOCIAL APPLICATIONS

4.2.4 Communication interfaces

As the application is going to be executed in multiple systems handling the request and

responses between them the physical communication interfaces like cables, routers, switches and

hubs are required. The failure in the communication interfaces may result in failure of

communication between the nodes resulting in blocking the request and responses.

4.3. Non-Functional RequirementsLet us discuss some non functional requirements for our system.

4.3.1 Performance requirements

The performance of the application depends on the system in which it is executed. If the

system is provided with high speed processor and enough RAM space. The speed of execution of

the application is high. As the data is passed or transforms between the nodes in the network.

The performance of the application resides on the type of nodes that are been used (The

availability of virtual memory and the processors speed) And the mode of network that is used

for communicating.

4.3.2 Safety Requirements

The user in the application is provided with user name and password for authenticating

before the login process. Invalid users are blocked from logging in. As the application is

deployed in user machine each user can be provided with a login facility authenticates with the

set of username and password for restricting the unauthorized users from logging in to increase

the strength of the passwords the process of encryption and decryption can also be applied.

4.3.3 Security Requirements

As the source code or software is deployed under the user machine. No security is

provided to the user code. The system security itself is the security i.e. applied to the application.

5. SYSTEM DESIGNSoftware design sits at the technical kernel of the software engineering process and is

applied regardless of the development paradigm and area of application. Design is the first step

in the development phase for any engineered product or system. The designer’s goal is to

produce a model or representation of an entity that will later be built. Beginning, once system

requirement have been specified and analyzed, system design is the first of the three technical

activities design, code and test that is required to build and verify software.

The importance can be stated with a single word “Quality”. Design is the place where

quality is fostered in software development. Design provides us with representations of software

that can assess for quality. Design is the only way that we can accurately translate a customer’s

view into a finished software product or system. Software design serves as a foundation for all

the software engineering steps that follow. Without a strong design we risk building an unstable

system one that will be difficult to test, one whose quality cannot be assessed until the last stage.

5.1 System Architecture This system is an approach to enhance the privacy of LBS users, to be used against

service providers who could extract information from their LBS queries and misuse it. The

mobile crowd acts as a TTP, mobile Crowd is that users only contact the LBS server if they

cannot find the sought information among their peers, i.e., other nearby reachable user devices.

Users can minimize their location information leakage by hiding in the crowd. MobiCrowd

would be most effective when there are many peers gathered at the same location.

In the below system architecture we can see the different types objects and their

relationship transactions .in our system we has four objects and they are user , informed user ,

proxy server, main server .when a user send a query it goes in to insider query processing i.e.

proxy checks the query in the informed user whether it is available or not unless proxy sends the

query to server then query goes in to outsider process i.e. server checks if any new sources

available for query if found it redirect it to the proxy server and proxy sends it to informed user

then informed sends reply to user of what he or she requested.

Department of CSE 26 TKRCET

Page 27: azd document

HIDING IN THE MOBILE CROWD LOCATION PRIVACY THROUGH GEO-SOCIAL APPLICATIONS

Fig.5.1.system architecture

5.2 ModulesOur system has four modules and they are as follows

Mobile Users

Location Based Server (LBS)

User Query

Check authenticity

5.2.1. Mobile user

Consider N users who move in an area split into M discrete regions/locations. The

mobility of each user u is a discrete-time Markov chain on the set of regions: The probability that

user u, currently in region ri, will next visit region rj is denoted by pu(rj |ri). Let πu(ri) be the

probability that user u is in region ri. Each user possesses a location-aware wireless device,

capable of ad hoc device-to-device communication and of connecting to the wireless

infrastructure (e.g., cellular and Wi-Fi networks).

Department of CSE 27 TKRCET

Page 28: azd document

HIDING IN THE MOBILE CROWD LOCATION PRIVACY THROUGH GEO-SOCIAL APPLICATIONS

5.2.2. Location based server (LBS)

As users move between regions, they leverage the infrastructure to submit local-search

queries to LBS. The information that the LBS provides expires periodically, in the sense that it is

no longer valid. Note that information expiration is not equivalent to the user accessing the LBS:

A user accesses the LBS when her information has expired and she wishes to receive the most

up-to-date version of it.

5.2.3. User query

A seeker, essentially a user who does not have the sought information in her buffer, first

broadcasts her query to her neighbors through the wireless ad hoc interface of the device. This a

local query. Each user with valid information about a region is termed informed user for that

region. Users interested in getting location-specific information about a region are called

information seekers of that region.

5.2.4. Check authenticity

The information the LBS provides is self-verifiable, i.e., users can verify the integrity and

authenticity of the server responses. This can be done in different ways; in our system, the user

device verifies a digital signature of the LBS on each reply by using the LBS provider’s public

key. As a result, a compromised access point or mobile device cannot degrade the experience of

users by altering replies or disseminating expired information.

5.3 Data Dictionary

5.3.1 Data base designA database model is a collection of logical constructs used to represent the data in data

structures and data relationships with in the database. Basically, the database models may be

grouped into two categories: conceptual model and implementation models. The conceptual

model focuses on the logical nature of that data presentation. Therefore the conceptual model is

concerned with what is representing in the database and the implementation model is concerned

with how it is represented.

Department of CSE 28 TKRCET

Page 29: azd document

HIDING IN THE MOBILE CROWD LOCATION PRIVACY THROUGH GEO-SOCIAL APPLICATIONS

5.3.2 Conceptual model

The conceptual model represents data present in the entities as well the relations present

is the entities. All the strong entities and weak entities are identified here and it mainly focuses

on the Model logical nature of that data presentation.

5.3.3. General access

General access model is used to convert the ER model into the relation model. Here we

can identify the references to the other entities and the nature of the each attribute. But, A

network model’s record can have more than one parent.

5.3.4. Relation model

The relational model is represented as tables. The columns of each table are attributes

that define the data or value domain for entities in that column. The rows of each table are tuples

representing individual data objects being stored. A relational table should have only one

primary key. A Primary key is a combination of one or more attributes whose value

unambiguously locates each row in the table. Database normalization is a design technique by

which relational database tables are structured in such a way as to make them invulnerable to

certain types of logical inconsistencies and anomalies.

Tables can be normalized to varying digress: relational database theory defines “normal

forms” of successively higher degrees of stringency, so, for example, a table in third normal form

is less open to logical inconsistencies and anomalies than a tale that is only in second normal

form. Although the normal forms are after defined (informally) in terms of the characteristics of

tables, rigorous definitions of the normal forms are concerned with the characteristics of

mathematical constructs known as relations. Whenever information is represented relationally

that is, roughly speaking, as values within rows beneath fixed column headings it makes sense to

ask to what extent the representation is normalized.

5.4 Normal FormsThe normal forms (abbrev. NF) of relational database theory provide criteria for

determining a table’s degree of vulnerability to logical inconsistencies and anomalies. The higher

the normal form applicable to a table, the vulnerable it is to such inconsistencies and anomalies.

Department of CSE 29 TKRCET

Page 30: azd document

HIDING IN THE MOBILE CROWD LOCATION PRIVACY THROUGH GEO-SOCIAL APPLICATIONS

Each table has a “highest normal form” (HNF): by definition, a table always meets the

requirements of its HNF; also by definition, a table fails to meet the requirements of any normal

form higher than its HNF. The normal forms are applicable to individual tables; to say that and

entire database is in normal form n is to say that all of its tables are in normal form n.

Newcomers to database design sometimes suppose that normalization proceeds in an

iterative fashion. I.e. a 1NF design is first normalized to 2NF, then to 3NF, and so on. This is not

an accurate description of how normalization typically works. A sensibly designed table is likely

to be in 3NF on the first attempt; furthermore, if it is 3NF, it is overwhelmingly likely to have an

HNF of 5NF. Achieving the “higher” normal forms (above 3NF) does not usually require an

extra expenditure of effort on the part of the designer, because 3NF tables usually need no

modification to meet the requirements of these higher normal forms Edgar F. Cod originally

defined the first three normal forms (1NF, 2NF and 3NF). These normal forms have been

summarized as requiring that all non-key attributes be dependent on “the key, the whole key and

nothing but the key”.

The fourth and fifth normal forms (4NF and 5NF) deal specifically with the

representation of many-to-many and one-to-many relationships among attributes. Sixth normal

form (6NF) incorporates considerations relevant to temporal databases.

5.4.1 First normal form

The criteria for first normal form (1NF) are:

A table must be guaranteed not to have any duplicate records; therefore it must have at

least one candidate key.

There must be no repeating groups, i.e. no attributes which occur a different number of

times on different records. For example, suppose that an employee can have multiple

skills: a possible representation of employees’ skills is {Employee ID, Skill1, Skill2,

Skill3…….}, where {Employee ID} is the unique identifier for a record. This

representation would not be in 1NF.

Note that all relations are in 1NF. The question of whether a given representation is in

1NF is equivalent to the question of whether it is a relation.

Department of CSE 30 TKRCET

Page 31: azd document

HIDING IN THE MOBILE CROWD LOCATION PRIVACY THROUGH GEO-SOCIAL APPLICATIONS

5.4.2 Second normal form

The criteria for second normal form (2NF) are: The table must be in 1NF.

None of the non-prime attributes of the table are functionally dependent on a part (proper

subset) of a candidate key; in other words, all functional dependencies of non-prime at-

tributes on candidate keys are full functional dependencies. For example, consider a “De-

partment Members” table whose attributes are Department ID, Employee ID, and Em-

ployee Date of Birth; and suppose that an employee works in one or more departments.

The combination of Department ID and Employee ID and Employee ID uniquely identi-

fies records within the table. Given that Employee Date of Birth depends on only one of

those attributes – namely, Employee ID – the table is not in 2NF.

5.4.3 Third normal form

The criteria for third normal form (3NF) are:

The table must be in 2NF.

There are no non-trivial functional dependencies between non-prime attribute is only in-

directly dependent (transitively dependent) on a candidate key, by virtue of being func-

tionally dependent on another nonprime attribute. For example, consider a “Departments”

table whose attributes are Department ID, Department Name, Manager ID, and Manager

Hire Date; and suppose that each manager can manage one or more departments.

5.4.4 Boyce-codd normal form

The criteria for Boyce-codd Normal Form (BCNF) are:

The table must be in 3NF. Every non-trivial functional dependency must be a dependency

on a super key.

5.5 Data Base Tables

The following tables are some data base tables which are used to store the data base of re-

quested users in the back end by our application. Our system has four data base tables and they

are as follows

Register table

Proxy table

HIDING IN THE MOBILE CROWD LOCATION PRIVACY THROUGH GEO-SOCIAL APPLICATIONS

Index server table

Server table

Table name: register

Id Username Password DOB Phone Address Email

Whenever a user registers in the application then data base server stores all the register

user details in the registration table.

Table name: proxy

Id Username Email Location Latitude Longitude Date

Fig.5.5.2. proxy table

When a user request the proxy server for a query then proxy stores his/her id, username,

email, location, latitude, longitude values and date when he/she requested the it.

Table Name: index-server

Id Username Email Location Latitude Longitude Request

Fig.5.5.3. index-server table

After receiving a query request from user proxy send the request to the index server and

then index server send the query to main server by storing all the user details in its data

base.

Table name: server

Fig.5.5.4. server table

Server stores the user id, his/her user name ,email, location ,domain name what he/she

provided in the process and which file he/she used in procedure of getting the result after

giving the reply to the user.

5.6 Data Flow Diagrams  A Data Flow Diagram (DFD) is a diagrammatic representation of the information flows

within a system, showing:

How information enters and leaves the system,

What changes the information,

Where information is stored.

In SSADM a DFD model includes supporting documentation describing the information

shown in the diagram. DFDs are used not only in structured system analysis and design, but also

as a general process modeling tool. There are a number of commercial tools in the market today

which are based on DFD modeling.

SSADM uses DFDs in three stages of the development process:

Current Physical DFDs. These record the results of conventional fact finding.

Current Logical DFDs. The logical information processing of the current system.

Required Logical DFDs. The logical information processing requirements of the

proposed system.

5.7 UML DiagramsDiagrams are graphical presentation of set of elements. Diagrams project a system, or

visualize a system from different angles and perspectives. The UML has nine diagrams these

diagrams can be classified into the following groups.

Static diagrams

Class diagrams.

Object diagrams.

Component diagrams.

Deployment diagrams

Dynamic diagrams

Use case diagram.

Sequence diagram.

State chart diagram.

Activity diagram.

Collaboration diagram.

Class diagram

This shows a set of classes, interfaces, collaborations and their relationships. There are

the most common diagrams in modeling the object oriented systems and are used to give the

static view of a system.

Object diagram

Shows a set of objects and their relationships and are used to show the data structures, the

static snapshots of instances of the elements in a class diagram. Like class diagram, the object

diagrams also address the static design view or process view of a system.

implementation view of a system. They are related to class diagrams where in components map

to one or more classes, interfaces of collaborations.

Deployment diagram

Deployment diagram shows a set of nodes and their relationships. They are used to show

the static deployment view of the architecture of a system. They are related to the component

diagrams where a node encloses one or more components.

5.7.2. Dynamic or Behavioral diagram

Explanation of dynamic or behavioral diagrams is given below

Use case diagram

Use case diagram shows a set of use cases and actors and their relationships. These

diagrams illustrate the static use case view of a system and are important in organizing and

modeling the behaviors of a system.

Sequence diagram

Sequence diagram is an interaction diagram which focuses on the time ordering of

messages it shows a set of objects and messages exchange between these objects. This diagram

illustrates the dynamic view of a system.

Activity diagram

Activity diagram shows the flow from one activity to another within a system. The

activities may be sequential or branching objects that act and are acted upon. These also show

the dynamic view of the system.

6. IMPLEMENTATION

Implementation is nothing but what we are newly implementing in our new system from

the existed system in order to provide a better accurate result with out loosing user private

information to un-trusted third parties.

The following code is implemented by introducing a mobi-crowd schema which deletes

the user private information whenever he/she use the service for accessing his/her required

information.

7. TESTING

IntroductionTesting is the process of detecting errors for which the required open web application

secure employment portal specifications stated. Testing performs a very critical role for quality

assurance and for ensuring the reliability of software. The results of testing are used later on

during the software maintenance. The aim of testing is often used to demonstrate that a program

works by showing that it has no errors. The basic purpose of testing phase is to detect the errors

that may be present in the program. Hence one should not start testing with the intent of showing

that a program works, but the intent should be to show that a program doesn’t work. The main

objective of testing is to uncover an error in systematic way with minimum effort and time.

System testing is series of different tests whose primary purpose is to fully exercise the

computer based system. Although each test has a different purpose, all the work should verify

that all system element have been properly integrated and perform allocated functions.

System Implementation is the process of having systems personnel check out and put newly de-

veloped package into use, train users how to interact with it, install the new application and con-

struct any files of data needed to use the package. While installation the system requirement

where the package is going to be installed is to be checked, whether it has the sufficient for the

software to run the package. The user must be given the manual regarding the installation and the

errors frequently occurred, and how to deal with those errors, and the manner in which to pro-

ceed during data entry.

7.1. Testing TypesThe different types of testing are:

Unit testing

Integration testing

System testing

Acceptance testing

Department of CSE 47 TKRCET

Page 48: azd document

HIDING IN THE MOBILE CROWD LOCATION PRIVACY THROUGH GEO-SOCIAL APPLICATIONS

7.1.1. Unit testing

This test focuses on verification effort on the smallest unit of software module. Using the

detailed design and the process specifications testing is done to uncover errors within the

boundary of the module. All the modules must be successful in the unit test before the start of the

integration testing begins. In this project each service is a module like Login, Forms etc. Each

module has to be tested by giving different sets of inputs. The inputs are validated when

accepting from user.

7.1.2. Integration testing

After the unit testing the integration of modules has to be done and then integration

testing can be done. The goal here is to see if modules can be integrated properly, the emphasis

being on testing interfaces between different modules.

7.1.3. System testing

In the system testing the entire web portal is tested according the software requirement

specifications document.

7.1.4. Acceptance testing

The acceptance testing is performed with realistic data of the client, which focus on the

external behavior of the system; the internal logic of the program is emphasized.

Software testing is a critical element of software quality assurance and represents the ultimate

review of specification, design and coding. Testing is the exposure of the system to trial input to

see whether it produces correct output.

7.2. Testing PhasesSoftware testing phases include the following:

Test activities are determined and test data selected.

The test is conducted and test results are compared with the expected results.

HIDING IN THE MOBILE CROWD LOCATION PRIVACY THROUGH GEO-SOCIAL APPLICATIONS

7.3. Testing MethodsTesting is a process of executing a program to find out errors. If testing is conducted

successfully, it will uncover all the errors in the software.

Any testing can be done basing on two ways:

White Box Testing

Black Box Testing

7.3.1. White box testing

It is a test case design method that uses the control structures of the procedural design to

derive test cases.

Using white box testing a software Engineer can derive the following test cases:

Exercise all the logical decisions on either true or false sides.

Execute all loops at their boundaries and within their operational boundaries.

Exercise the internal data structures to assure their validity.

7.3.2. Black box testing

It is a test case design method used on the functional requirements of the software. It will

help a software engineer to derive sets of input conditions that will exercise all the functional

requirements of the program.

Black Box testing attempts to find errors in the following categories:

Incorrect or missing functions

Interface errors

Errors in data structures

Performance errors

Initialization and termination errors

By black box testing we derive a set of test cases that satisfy the following criteria:

Test cases that reduce by a count that is greater than one

The number of additional test cases that must be designed to achieve reasonable testing.

7.4. Testing PlansTesting can be done in two ways:

Bottom up approach

Top down approach

7.4.1. Bottom up approach

Testing can be performed starting from smallest and lowest level modules and proceeding

one at a time. For each module in bottom up testing a short program executes the module and

provides the needed data so that the module is asked to perform the way it will when embedded

within the larger system. When bottom level modules are tested attention turns to those on the

next level that use the lower level ones they are tested individually and then linked with the

previously examined lower level modules.

7.4.2. Top down approach

This type of testing starts from upper level modules. Since the detailed activities usually

performed in the lower level routines are not provided stubs are written. A stub is a module shell

called by upper level module and that when reached properly will return a message to the calling

module indicating that proper interaction occurred. No attempt is made to verify the correctness

of the lower level module.

7.5. Test CasesModule: Existing user

File name: User

9. CONCLUSION

We have proposed a novel approach to enhance the privacy of LBS users, to be used

against service providers who could extract information from their LBS queries and misuse it.

We have developed and evaluated MobiCrowd, a scheme that enables LBS users to hide in the

crowd and to reduce their exposure while they continue to receive the location context

information they need. MobiCrowd achieves this by relying on the collaboration between users,

who have the incentive and the capability to safeguard their privacy. We have proposed a novel

analytical framework to quantify location privacy of our distributed protocol. Our epidemic

model captures the hiding probability for user locations, i.e., the fraction of times when, due to

MobiCrowd, the adversary does not observe user queries. By relying on this model, our Bayesian

inference attack estimates the location of users when they hide. Our extensive joint

epidemic/Bayesian analysis shows a significant improvement thanks to MobiCrowd, across both

the individual and the average mobility prior knowledge scenarios for the adversary. We have

demonstrated the resource efficiency of MobiCrowd by implementing it in portable devices.

Future EnhancementWe have developed a secured process for the users to get required information from the

location based service with out using the trusted third parties and introduced a mobi crowd

schema that deletes all the private information of registered users when they request the proxy

server for a query. It is a easy process to get effective results of our proposed system. And this

entire proposed system is developed with java language .java is object oriented language and

platform independent that can any operating system.

Basically this application developed only for the android users and we can easily

implement it for windows users and for Mac users. For this java has packages by using this java

packages every one can implement this secure service to the all type of users i.e. windows, Mac,
