In recent years, preserving individual privacy when publishing trajectory data receives increasing attention. However, the existing trajectory data privacy preserving techniques cannot resolve the anonymous issues of large-scale trajectory databases. In traditional clustering constraint based trajectory privacy preserving algorithms, the anonymous groups lack of diversity and they cannot effectively prevent re-clustering attacks against the characteristics of publishing data. In this thesis, a segment clustering based privacy preserving algorithm is proposed. Firstly, the original database is divided into blocks and each block is treated as a separate database. Then, the trajectories in each block are partitioned into segments based on the minimum description length principle. Lastly, these segments are anonymized with cluster-constraint strategy. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can improve the safety and have good performance in data quality and anonymous efficiency.
