In this paper we present a novel architecture to protect the location and the identification of a mobile user. This architecture, called "Share the Secret - STS", simply divides the secret i.e., the location of a user, and uses totally un-trusted entities to distribute portions of this anonymous location information. STS avoids cryptography methods. As a lightweight scheme it can be applied to network of nodes illustrating low processing and computational power, such as nodes of an ad-hoc network and sensors.
