GEPETO

GEoPrivacy-Enhancing TOolkit

Keywords: Cyber attack - Privacy - Mobility

Scientific Description

(GEoPrivacy-Enhancing TOolkit) is an open source software for managing location data (currently in development in cooperation with LAAS). GEPETO can be used to visualize, sanitize, perform inference attacks and measure the utility of a particular geolocated dataset. For each of these actions, a set of different techniques and algorithms can be applied. The global objective of GEPETO is to enable a user to design, tune, experiment and evaluate various sanitization algorithms and inference attacks as well as visualizing the following results and evaluating the resulting trade-off between privacy and utility. An engineer (Izabela Moïse) has contributed to the development of a distributed version of GEPETO based on the MapReduce paradigm and the Hadoop framework that is able to analyze datasets composed of millions of mobility traces in a few minutes [30] .
