Secure Verification of Location Claims with Simultaneous Distance Modification
نویسندگان
چکیده
We investigate the problem of verifying location claims of mobile devices, and propose a new property called simultaneous distance modification (SDM). In localization protocols satisfying the SDM property, a malicious device can lie about its distance from the verifiers, but all distances can only be altered by the same amount. We demonstrate that the SDM property guarantees secure verification of location claims with a small number of verifiers even if some of them maliciously collude with the device. We also present several lightweight localization protocols that satisfy the SDM property.

POSTER: Secure Path Verification using Mobility-Differentiated ToA
In this poster, we generalize the problem of secure location verification to that of path verification and propose a scheme to securely verify the claims of a mobile node that moves along a path. Although the secure verification of location claims has been studied extensively in the literature, current solutions require very strict time synchronization of the verifiers, or extra communication a...
متن کاملSecure location verification and determination
This document considers two different approaches dealing with secure location claims. The first protocol is called ECHO [1] and handles with the secure verification of a location via ultra-sound. The second procedure increases the robustness of location determination protocols like RADAR [2]. Those are using standard IEEE 802.11 equipment. The document gives an introduction, overview, analysis ...
متن کاملSecure Distance Bounding Verification using Physical-Channel Properties
We consider the problem of distance bounding verification (DBV), where a proving party claims a distance and a verifying party ensures that the prover is within the claimed distance. Current approaches to “secure” distance estimation use signal’s time of flight, which requires the verifier to have an accurate clock. We study secure DBV using physical channel properties as an alternative to time...
متن کاملW-SPS: Designing a Wide-Area Secure Positioning System
Motivated by the security and functional limitations of satellite positioning systems, we explore a design of a Wide-Area Secure Positioning System. The main goals of this system are strong spoofing resilience, location verification, and privacy. We propose a realization of a Wide-Area Secure Positioning System and show that this solution is viable and can fulfill our defined security goals. Sp...
متن کاملProtecting Privacy and Securing the Gathering of Location Proofs - The Secure Location Verification Proof Gathering Protocol
As wireless networks become increasingly ubiquitous, the demand for a method of locating a device has increased dramatically. Location Based Services are now commonplace but there are few methods of verifying or guaranteeing a location provided by a user without some specialised hardware, especially in larger scale networks. We propose a system for the verification of location claims, using pro...
