Location sharing is a fundamental service in mobile Online Social Networks (mOSNs), which raises significant privacy concerns in recent years. Now, most locationbased service applications adopt clientserver architecture. In this paper, a location sharing system, named CSLocShare, is presented to provide flexible privacypreserving location sharing with clientserver architecture in mOSNs. CSLocShare enables location sharing between both trusted social friends and untrusted strangers without the thirdparty server. In CSLocShare, LocationStoring Social Network Server (LSSNS) provides locationbased services but do not know the users’ real locations. The thorough analysis indicates that the users’ location privacy is protected. Meanwhile, the storage and the communication cost are saved. CSLocShare is more suitable and effective in reality.
