According to various embodiments, a system for vehicular application development is disclosed. The system includes a programmable on-board diagnostics (OBD)-connected dongle for providing computational and storage resources to a vehicle and hosting one or more applications in the vehicle. The dongle is configured to utilize one or more external devices, cloud servers, and add-on modules to provide additional resources for the applications and enable control of the applications. The dongle is implemented with a middleware that enables intended operations of the dongle.

According to various embodiments, a method for locating the user of a mobile device without accessing global position system (GPS) data is disclosed. The method includes determining the last location that the user was connected to a wireless network. The method further includes compiling publicly-available auxiliary information related to the last location. The method additionally includes classifying an activity of the user to driving, traveling on a plane, traveling on a train, or walking. The method also includes estimating the location of the user based on sensory and non-sensory data of the mobile device particular to the activity classification of the user.

An approach to implementing or configuring an Oblivious RAM (ORAM), which in addition to behaving as a RAM, provides a way to meet a specified degree of privacy in a manner that avoids applying unnecessary computation resources (computation time and/or storages space and/or data transfer) to achieve the specified degree of privacy. In this way, a tradeoff between privacy and computation resources may be tuned to address requirements of a particular application. This ability to tune this tradeoff is not found in other ORAM implementations, which in general aim to achieve complete privacy. In some implementations, the ORAM provides a constant bandwidth overhead compared to conventional RAMs, while achieving a statistical privacy as desired by the user.
