Secure location services - Vulnerability analysis and provision of security in location systems

Speaker: Oscar Pozzobon, ITEE

When: 2003-10-28 09:00:00

Venue: 78-622

Host: Dr. Kurt Kubik

Abstract:

This work identifies a number of critical infrastructure
applications that are reliant on location services from cooperative
location technologies such as GPS and GSM. It is shown that these
location technologies can be represented in a general location
model, such that the model components can be used for vulnerability
analysis. It is performed a vulnerability analysis on these
components of GSM and GPS location systems as well as a number of
augmentations to these systems. A solution based on this model is
proposed to trust the location data in satellite navigation systems,
using public key based digital signatures.
