Impact of location‐aware services on the privacy/security balance

Abstract

This article is based on a report to the Committee on Citizens' Freedoms and Rights, Justice and Home Affairs of the European Parliament by IPTS, addressing increasing concerns about the impact of emerging information and communication technologies and services on security and personal privacy. This paper presents the findings on location‐based services from the above report. It explores in more depth the effect that the processing of location data (for use in services supported by mobility and integrated within the ambient intelligence context), will have on the future balance between security and privacy.
