  • Abstract
    We propose a protocol to support mobility for geo-encryption by allowing mobile nodes to exchange movement parameters, so that a sender is able to geo-encrypt messages to a moving decryption zone that contains a mobile node´s estimated location. We also present methods for estimating the node´s movement parameters to allow for geo-encryption. Finally, we evaluate our model by measuring the induced overhead to the network and its performance in terms of decryption ratio.
