A Secure Condition-Based Location Authentication Protocol for Mobile Devices

Abstract

In this paper, we propose a condition-based location authentication protocol for mobile devices to authenticate users' location claims. This protocol collaborates with other neighboring mobile devices to generate the trusted proofs. This protocol does not require any extra equipment built in mobile devices, thus, it is easy to use and deploy. Through the security analysis, our protocol is more secure than previous methods since it can resist more potential attacks.
