Dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in Geospatial TechnologiesThe mobile technology development combined with the business model of a majority
of application companies is posing a potential risk to individuals’ privacy.
Because the industry default practice is unrestricted data collection. Although,
the data collection has virtuous usage in improve services and procedures; it also
undermines user’s privacy. For that reason is crucial to learn what is the privacy
protection mechanism state-of-art.
Privacy protection can be pursued by passing new regulation and developing
preserving mechanism. Understanding in what extent the current technology is
capable to protect devices or systems is important to drive the advancements
in the privacy preserving field, addressing the limits and challenges to deploy
mechanism with a reasonable quality of Service-QoS level.
This research aims to display and discuss the current privacy preserving
schemes, its capabilities, limitations and challenges
