Geospatial Cryptagraphy

摘要

The invention includes methods for authenticating access between devices when the devices are within a geospatial boundary comprising the first step of keeping track of the physical position of the devices using both low and, or high fidelity geospatial positioning techniques. Next, a first device determines whether any nearby mobile devices have entered the geospatial boundary. Next, the first device determines if any of the mobile devices are peers eligible for cryptographic authentication. After the first device authenticates that the other device within the geospatial boundary is a trusted peer, the devices may perform various data and, or dynamic policy operations.

1. A system for authenticating access between a fixed device and a mobile device comprising:
a control agent; the fixed device surrounded by a geospatial boundary, and the fixed device enabled to determine when the mobile device has entered the geospatial boundary; the mobile device enabled to ascertain a geospatial position of the mobile device, and to send an encrypted signal that includes the geospatial position of the mobile device to the control agent; wherein the control agent is enabled to determine that the mobile device is within the geospatial boundary, and to send an updated contact list to the fixed device; wherein the fixed device is enabled to receive the updated contact list, use the updated contact list to determine that the mobile device is a peer, and transmit an encrypted signal to the fixed device via the control agent; the mobile device enabled to decrypt the encrypted signal and access the high fidelity position of the fixed device, use the high fidelity position of the fixed device to determine that the mobile device is still within the geospatial boundary, and update the contact list to establish authenticated access with the fixed device.
