Location Based Service Applications (LBSAs) are becoming a vital part of our lives now. The users can communicate with the physical world and get all information they want through these applications. An example for LBSA is Foursquare .The demerit is it misuses in different ways by exploiting personal data of users and causes many threats. To avoid these threats and to increase location privacy uses the technique LocX. The locations as well as the data added with it are mapped before store in many servers. So the location cannot be retrieved from the server by a third party and the location is not visible to the hackers. Also, to improve the security in location points and data points we introduce dual encryption method in LocX. Asymmetric keys are used to encrypt the data with two keys public key and user’s private key. But in LocX random inexpensive symmetric keys are used.
