Abstract

Location is part of the context of an ensemble of mobile nodes in a wireless mesh network. In this paper we present a concept and an architecture for a location aware Digital Rights Management system. This system uses signal strengths in a mobile ad-hoc or mesh network to determine the position of each node and to authenticate these position information. It enables devices to control access depending on their position. We describe algorithms, protocols, security threats, and a prototype.
