Abstract
Mobile networks provide distinct set of services for the
user in which authentication is one of the imperative
and significant types of services. There are various
factors of authentication. Some of them are passwords,
security token, retinal scan, fingerprint, and other
bio-metric data, etc. The other new factor is the
user’s location which can also be used as one of the
criteria for remote client authentication. However, the
information of location is private and can be misused;
hence distinct procedures should be implemented to
ensure its integrity.
In this paper, we propose the use of location based
services to provide authentication to a remote client.
As a use case, we consider the Automated Teller
Machine (ATM), which is one of the most popular
targets of fraud today. A remote client is provided with
necessary authentication using the location based
services, defined by the Expand LRAP (Location based
Remote client Authentication Protocol), so as to make
him aware of a genuine ATM where he can carry out
secure transactions.
