In obtaining the service, the user needs to transmit the query data to an untrusted location service provider for query and then obtain the required content. Most existing schemes tend to protect the user\u2019s location privacy information while ignoring the user\u2019s query privacy. This paper proposes a secure and effective query privacy protection scheme. The multi-user cache is used to store historical query results, reduce the number of communications between users and untrusted servers, and introduce trust computing for malicious users in neighbor caches, thereby reducing the possibility of privacy leakage. When the cache cannot meet the demand, the user\u2019s location coordinates are converted using the Moore curve, processed using encryption technology, and sent to the location service provider to prevent malicious entities from accessing the transformed data. Finally, we simulate and evaluate the scheme on real datasets, and the experimental results demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of the scheme.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/info13090417","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,6]],"date-time":"2022-09-06T20:52:51Z","timestamp":1662497571000},"page":"417","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Location Privacy-Preserving Query Scheme Based on the Moore Curve and Multi-User Cache"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7466-4622","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zhenpeng","family":"Liu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Cyberspace Security and Computer, Hebei University, Baoding 071002, China"},{"name":"Information Technology Center, Hebei University, Baoding 071002, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Qiannan","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Cyberspace Security and Computer, Hebei University, Baoding 071002, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jianhang","family":"Wei","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Information Technology Center, Hebei University, Baoding 071002, China"},{"name":"Network and Experiment Management Center, Xinjiang University of Science & Technology, Korla 841000, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Dewei","family":"Miao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Cyberspace Security and Computer, Hebei University, Baoding 071002, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jingyi","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electronic Information Engineering, Hebei University, Baoding 071002, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"3628","DOI":"10.1109\/TII.2017.2773646","article-title":"Location Privacy Protection Based on Differential Privacy Strategy for Big Data in Industrial Internet of Things","volume":"14","author":"Yin","year":"2018","journal-title":"IEEE Trans.
