Welcome to HMC toolkit. A toolkit to test the Location Privacy Protection Mechanism HMC (Heat-Map Confusion). With this toolkit you can :
- Launch HMC.
- Test re-identiication attacks.
- Evaluate LPPMs with Utility metrics.
This toolkit is a wrap of bigger project Accio
One dataset = One directory of mobility traces.
One mobility trace of user = One CSV file named <user_id>.csv
CSV file format = Each line is a record of the mobility trace.
One record = <lattitude>,<longitude>,<timestamp>
Timestamp = Unix time POSIX .
You can see in the table below the list of options. Only one mode at a time can be used.
