Abstract

Service discovery is critical to the privacy of service clients and providers. Personal information can be disclosed when looking for services or deduced from historical service discovery data, and must hence be protected from illegitimate access. Privacy-aware service discovery protocols, however, must still be flexible and scalable, in particular to support the requirements of service-oriented pervasive computing. In this paper we present EVEY, a privacy-aware service discovery protocol that supports syntactic match and semantic match of service requests and advertisements. Private information related to service discovery is protected by introducing ambiguity in both service advertisements and service requests so that they can possibly represent a group of services instead of a single specific service instance. We detail the protocol and based on a prototype we present a preliminary performance evaluation.
