User Customizable and Robust Geo-Indistinguishability for Location Privacy. (arXiv:2206.08396v2 [cs.CR] UPDATED)

Location obfuscation functions generated by existing systems for ensuring
location privacy are monolithic and do not allow users to customize their
obfuscation range. This can lead to the user being mapped in undesirable
locations (e.g., shady neighborhoods) to the location-requesting services.
Modifying the obfuscation function generated by a centralized server on the
user side can result in poor privacy as the original function is not robust
against such updates. Users themselves might find it challenging to understand
the parameters involved …
