ABSTRACT
In this work, we show that sensor data may leak a sensor's location even if the latter is not explicitly included in the data set. The sensors are localized by linking sensor data, in particular activity data, with publicly available environmental data such as weather data. We show that using a linkage attack a cow can be localized within an entire country with an average accuracy of up to 32.6 km solely from activity traces recorded with a tracker in the cow's stomach.

Distributed Localization Scheme for Mobile Sensor Networks
Localization is an essential and important research issue in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). Most localization schemes focus on static sensor networks. However, mobile sensors are required in some applications such that the sensed area can be enlarged. ...
Localization in wireless sensor networks
IPSN '07: Proceedings of the 6th international conference on Information processing in sensor networksA fundamental problem in wireless sensor networks is localization -- the determination of the geographical locations of sensors. Most existing localization algorithms were designed to work well either in networks of static sensors or networks in which ...
Cooperative localization techniques for wireless sensor networks: free, signal and angle basedtechniques
This paper addresses the problem of localization in sensor networks where, initially, a certain number of sensors are aware of their positions either by using GPS or by being hand-placed and are referred to as anchors. Our goal is to localize all ...
