Service Modules • Publishing location • DNS RRLOC • DNS Update using TSIG • Requesting information based on location • Location based Info services • Unlinkability MobileID - Location - InfoRequest
Conclusions • Using a proxy server between the mobile and the location based services we can hide the location of the mobile device. • Using XML Encryption and signatures in Simple Object Access Protocol service requests we can provide both message digest and message authentication (accountability).
ConclusionsPE-LBS and MIX networks • Three benefits of the PE-LBS architecture: • A PE-LBS proxy can act as a “mix” by buffering and changing the sequence of processing SOAP requests. • Chain of PE-LBS can be used as a “mix network”. • All the functionalities are Transport Independent.
