Introduction Many kind of location sensing technologies already exist, and more are under development Location information Exchange Protocol (LEXP) was designed for preserving user privacy and certifying users location information

Architecture

Parameter Each client, detector, service provider, and ticket have its own unique identifier CID, DID, SID TID h(x),h 2 (x) denote the MD5 hash value of x {x} key denote the encrypted data of x by key

Detector Registration h( DID )h( password )address password header{h(DID) h(password) h(detector_publickey) secretkey} resolver_publickey header{h(detector_publickey)} resolver_privatekey Register the secret key information

Address Notification h(RFID)h(CID)addressra update

Address Resolution h(RFID)h(CID)addressra rb header{h(DID) h(RFID) rb} secretkey header{ra address rb} secretkey h(RFID)addressra

Ticket Publication(1/2) 1. Generate a pair of Diffie-Hellman key 2. D-public key 3. C-public key D-private key C-private key DES session key 4. {h(RFID) ra} sessionkey h(RFID)addressra Check h(RFID)

Ticket Publication(2/2) random number R ticket = {TID timestamp} detector-privatekey {DID TID R ticket} sessionkey DIDdector’s addressTIDrt(=at this point’s ra)Rticket TIDrth N (R)n(at first n = N, n is the consumable time of ticket)

Ticket Verification {validity r} detector_privatekey Check h N-n (h n (R)) = h N (R)

Security Analysis Address Notification  CID is secret Address Resolution  No attacker can get secret key (in a secret channel) Ticket Publication  Only detector and client have ra Ticket Verification  h n (R) is one-time password  The password required next time is h n-1 (R), which no one can generate unless he knows R

Conclusion LEXP guarantees users to keep anonymity, guarantees applications that a user cannot forge his location information Applying the modules of ‘chain of confidence’ and one-time password
