Location-based authentication is a special procedure to prove an individual's identity on appearance simply by detecting their presence at a distinct location.
To enable location-based authentication, a special combination of objects is required.
- First, the individual that applies for being identified and authenticated has to present a sign of identity.
- Secondly, the individual has to carry at least one authentication factor that may be recognized at the distinct location.
- Thirdly, the distinct location must be equipped with a resident means that is capable of determining the coincidence of the individual at this distinct location.
Distinctiveness of locating
A basic requirement for safe location-based authentication is a well-defined separation of locations as well as an equally well-defined proximity of the applying individual to this location.
Challenges
As of 2008[update], no offered technical solution for simple location-based authentication includes a method for limiting the granted access to the presence, hence terminating the granted authentication upon leaving. This defines a mandate either to include a new or an additional procedure for
- detecting the leave and closing the granted access,
- limiting the granted time for access
- combining the method with another suitably suited authentication factor
