Definition

Long-term quality of protection (QoP) is envisioned to sustain personalized services with long-term privacy preservation.

Historical Background

Quality-of-protection (QoP) (Wang and Zhang 2015; Weber 2015) mechanisms have been exploited to thwart privacy breach in sharing user-generated content, including user’s location information in location-based services (LBSs), and sensor data in participatory sensing (Wang et al. 2017). These mechanisms employ several QoP models that can be categorized into the following three classes (Wang and Zhang 2015).

Anonymization and generalization models. The crux of anonymization and generalization models is to replace a specific value of user’s attributes (such as sensor data) with a coarser range to provide privacy protection (Zarrin et al. 2017). In LBS systems, the location coordinates of multiple users are transformed into the same geographical region to hide a user’s specific...
