Abstract
With the popularity of edge-based trajectory applications, application providers have accumulated a large amount of user trajectory data. However, direct use of trajectory data containing rich privacy information has the risk of leaking user privacy. In this paper, we propose an edge trajectory protection approach using the technique of blockchain. This protection mechanism not only takes account of users information protection and identity authentication in block generation, but considers the screening mechanism to ensure the integrity of most authorized nodes. We propose trajectory entropy suppression method that combines it with a cost function evaluation sequence and achieve collaboration between regions by deploying smart contracts. Our experimental results demonstrate the efficiency and effectiveness of our proposed model.
