1) The document proposes a new encryption scheme called Order-Retrievable Encryption (ORE) to protect user location privacy in location-based social networks.
2) ORE allows users to share their exact locations with friends without leaking location information to outside parties. It also enables efficient location queries with low computational and communication costs.
3) An experimental evaluation shows that the proposed privacy-preserving location sharing system using ORE has much lower computational and communication overhead compared to existing solutions.
