A LOCATION ENABLED mobile devices proliferate, location-based services is rapidly becoming immensely popular. Most of the current location-based services for mobile devices such as on user’s current location. Users discover their locations and share them with a server. In turn the server performs computation based on the location information and returns data/services to the users. Our distance bounding scheme is designed for ad-hoc mobile users generating location proofs for each other in a distributed setting. However, it can easily accommodate trusted mobile users and wireless access points. Our distance bounding scheme ensures the integrity and non -transferability of the location proofs and protects user’s privacy. Our prototype implementation on the Android stage shows that our distance bounding scheme is Low cost in terms of computational and storage possessions.
Conclusion
Our distance bounding scheme aims at the providing security and privacy assurance to mobile user’s proofs for their past location visits. Our distance bounding scheme relies on mobile devices in vicinity to mutually generate location proofs. Integrity and non transfer ability of location proofs and location privacy of users are the main design goals of distance bounding scheme.
We have specifically dealt with two collusion scenarios P-P collusion and P-W collusion. To protect against P-P collusions, we integrated the Bussard-Bagg a distance bounding protocol into the design of our distance bounding scheme. To detect P-W collusion, we proposed an entropy based trust model to evaluate the trust level of claims of the past location visits. Our security analysis shows the distance bounding scheme achieves the security and privacy objectives. Our implementation on android smart phones indicates that low computational and storage resources are required to execute distance bounding scheme. Wide imitation results show that our trust model is able to attain a high balanced correctness with appropriate choices of system parameters.
