The present invention relates to authenticating a mobile device using location information associated with the device. The present invention provides a mechanism for authenticating a mobile device based on location related information or a "logical location", but without requiring an actual location. The mobile user device identifies or discovers other devices, using direct wireless communication, within its vicinity and forwards this information to the authenticating authority. If this information matches previous or otherwise pre-determined information, then the device is authenticated.
