Abstract

This paper presents a privacy-aware localization service which has been developed to fulfill the privacy requirements of an assistance system for elderly people. The privacy concept is based on the sticky-policy approach that simplifies the enforcement of policies in a distributed environment. We discuss two well-known policy languages, XACML and GEOPRIVs Common Policy, in respect to their usability for our scenario.
