Location and mobility data are highly sensitive, as they can be used to infer a number of other personal and sensitive data on an individual. However, human mobility is highly predictable, and location information is routinely collected by location-aware devices (e.g. smartphones), connected vehicles, smart transportation systems, e-tolling, and cameras with face recognition among others.
Location privacy is a rapidly developing research area, and the fourth Location Privacy Workshop (LPW 2022) provides a platform for original research and discussion on all technical aspects of privacy and security of location-based services.
Topics of interest
- Security of location-aware mobile devices
- Privacy-enhancing technologies for location-based services
- Privacy and anonymity in (public) transportation systems
- Privacy and security in connected/autonomous vehicles
- Security of smart mobility applications
- Privacy in location-aware social media
- Privacy in position-based advertising
- Malicious and pervasive tracking, de-anonymization
- Cryptographic protocols and schemes for location information
- Data structures for location information
- Security and reliability of positioning systems
- Location verification and authentication
- Location forensics
- Data protection techniques for regulatory (GDPR) compliance
- Privacy in location-based contact tracing
- …and any other related topic
Venue
LPW 2022 is co-located with the 7th IEEE European Symposium on Security and Privacy (IEEE EuroS&P 2022). EuroS&P will be held in Genoa, Italy. We are expecting to hold an in person conference and that authors will be able to travel to the conference to present their paper, but will make allowances for remote presentation in cases where all authors of a paper have legitimate reasons they are unable to attend in person.
Submission Guidelines
Prospective authors are invited to submit novel contributions, application papers and case studies. Submissions should be 6-8 pages in the double-column IEEE S&P conference format, but longer contributions up to 10 pages will be considered. Short papers and position papers (3-4 pages) are also welcome. Submissions must be anonymous with no author names, affiliations, acknowledgments, or obvious references. Submitted papers will be carefully evaluated based on originality, significance, technical soundness, presentation and clarity of exposition.
At least one author of each accepted paper is required to register for the IEEE Euro S&P 2022 conference, and present the paper (see "Venue" above for details).
Submissions are accepted through EasyChair:

Publication
Accepted papers will appear in a volume accompanying the main IEEE Euro S&P 2022 proceedings, published by the IEEE. They will be available on IEEE Xplore and will be indexed by Scopus, dblp, etc.
