摘要

Various embodiments are generally directed to techniques for conveying location information between a location provider and a trusted location application within a mobile device through trusted communications to preclude its provision to an untrusted location application. An apparatus includes a processor component; and a location provider for execution by the processor component comprising a location baseband to determine a current location in a venue based on wireless signals received from a location network of the venue, a verification component to verify a trusted location application associated with the venue based at least on credentials received from the trusted location application, and an encryption component to encrypt location information indicating the current location and convey the location information to the trusted location application through a location manager interposed between the location provider and the trusted location application based on verification of the trusted location application. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
