Abstract

We propose an exactly spatiotemporal matching scheme for privacy-aware users in MSNs. Based on the carefully designed spatiotemporal profile, our scheme employs a weight-aware pre-matching module to filter out the users with less similarity and some potential adversaries, thus guarantees that no useful information is revealed before determining the best matches. Further, we propose a privacy-preserving exchanging module against Honest-But-Curious users. Finally, the similarity computing module computes the exact matching result to each candidate to determine the best match. Thorough security analysis and evaluation results indicate the effectiveness and efficiency.
