Secure Location Verification with Hidden and Mobile Base Stations

In this work, we propose and analyse a new approach for securing localization and location verification in wireless networks based on hidden and mobile base stations. Our approach enables secure localization with a broad spectrum of localization techniques: ultrasonic or radio, based on received signal strength or signal time of flight. Through several examples we show how this approach can be used to secure nodecentric and infrastructure-centric localization schemes. We further show how this approach can be applied to secure localization in mobile ad-hoc and sensor networks.
