Abstract:
The paper introduces location-based authentication techniques that are especially addressed to use in buildings and the environment, which is not covered by GPS signal (Global Position System). An active infrastructure is used as a source of position information. Two techniques are proposed. The first technique performs a remote user’s authentication where the user’s terminal broadcasts identity message. The active infrastructure evaluates user’s position and informs an authenticator. The other proposed technique performs local user’s authentication. The authentication process is launched on the user’s terminal. The user’s terminal collects information from its actual neighborhood and evaluates position information.
