%0 Journal Article %T An Approach to Authenticate user¡¯s Mobile device and to Preserve Privacy towards Location Proof(A2MP2LP) %A Senthilguru S %A Blessed Prince P %J International Journal of Computer Science and Network %D 2013 %I IJCSN publisher %X The purpose of this approach is to authenticate user¡¯s mobiledevice and to preserve privacy towards location proof.A person¡¯slocation proof depends on the user¡¯s mobile device position.Biometric authentication technique was proposed in order toavoid malicious users from prevaricating their identity. Thelocation proofs are generated by co-located Bluetooth enabledmobile devices. The working of our proposed system is similar toPrivacy-Preserving Location proof Updating System(APPLAUS) [14]. To prevent the weak identity of mobile device,the technique of biometric authentication was deployed. Thehistory of the location proof of mobile devices is saved on anuntrusted location proof server; therefore there is a possibility ofattacks on the data, which can expose the location of legitimatedevices. Hence the major necessity is to preserve the privacy ofeach device by using multiple pseudonyms. Therefore tomaintain security and privacy the proposed system¡¯s (A2MP2LP)architecture separates the sensitive biometric data from thehistory of the device location. For extra security the biometricinformation is stored in biometric encryption (BE) format.A2MP2LP explains the biometric authetication and perservingprivacy towards location proof method. %K Location privacy %K location proof %K Biometric authentication %K Mobile networks %K biometric encryption %U http://ijcsn.org/IJCSN-2013/2-2/IJCSN-2013-2-2-63.pdf
