Popis: Location Based Services (LBS) are any services or software applications that require the geographic location (longitude and latitude) of an entity. Nowadays, with the aid of smartphones, LBSs have improved tremendously in the market with wide range of users. However, in many existing LBSs, the user's information was not private where the service provider is aware with the user's location and may leak this information to any unauthorized entities. To encounter this problem, a symmetric encryption can be used as a solution to encrypt the data sent within client and LBS. An experiment of symmetric encryption using TCP/IP client-server for protecting user's privacy in the communication had been conducted to prove the user's information is encrypted.
