Network Location Privacy Protection with Multi-access Edge Computing

Real world incidents show leaking of communication and location privacy can lead to serious consequence. Many research efforts have tried to anonymize individual user from aggregated location data. However, just the communication between the mobile user and their peers could reveal important privacy of the mobile user, such as location history. In this paper, we proposed a scalable system built with Multi-access Edge (MEC) that can hide the mobile user’s network location and traffic from communication peers. This system creates a dynamic distributed proxy network for each mobile user to minimize performance overhead and operation cost.
