Mobile services such as navigation apps are essential tools of our daily life. For a conscientious user, the best way to ensure one’s privacy protection is to stop using connected devices. To prevent opting for such extreme solutions, we advocate to use tools that leverage both the privacy and the utility aspects in mobile computing, to meet user-defined objectives. Using control theory, this thesis will be focused on designing a novel mechanism specific to indoor location systems, able to protect privacy while guaranteeing high location accuracy.
