Abstract

A method for providing authorisation based on authenticated identity and authenticated geographical location regarding the sender of a message, providing to a secure locator device a general message and a user identification, the secure locator device obtaining it's own position, the secure locator device generating and outputting a return message in case the identification is accepted containing authentication of the sender's identity, i.e. the user related to the user identification, the sender's current location, and an output message, and the receiver of the output message authorising or denying some service based on this authenticated information.

Description

A Secure Locator Device
The present invention is related to a secure locator device for obtaining an authorisation of a user towards a service related to the user's identity and the user's geographical position.
It may be important or even necessary to include geographical constraints in the access conditions for a service. Given reliable information about a user's location, the access to the service can be authorised in two, principally different, ways: Either the access decision can be taken on the server side or on the client side. Therefore there exists a need for means that can be used to obtain authorisation in both situations.
In cases where the authorisation is decided, i.g. granting or denying access, on the server side, such means should provide the necessary proves towards the service provider that the user of device is member of the group that is allowed to use the service, i.e. s/he meets the access criteria including own position and identity.
One such situation may be illustrated by an electronic betting service that is legal only for citizens residing within the borders of some geographical area at the time of the on-line betting.
In cases where authorisation is decided, i.g. granting or denying access, on the client side, said means should authorise access to the service provided that the user of the device is member of the group that is allowed to use the service, i.e. s/he meets the access criteria including own position and, if needed, identity.
One such situation may be illustrated by an encrypted TV broadcast of a live event where access shall be granted only to viewers residing outside, or only inside, a given area around the location of the live event. The geographical part of the access conditions denies access to all positions within or without that circle.
Many other situations also do exist. These examples motivate the need for a method to obtain a secure authentication of a user's identity and current location in a way making it extremely difficult for the user to obtain false authorisation towards some service by manipulating information.
Using cryptographic techniques, e.g. public key cryptography, digital signature, and public key infrastructure, it is possible today to ensure the integrity and non- reputation of a message, the identity of the sender and give authorisation, i.e. grant access to a service, based on such access conditions. Many technologies exist for determining position, e.g. methods based on satellites, cellular phone networks, radio beacons or even measurement of natural phenomena. Several different means for user identification between a device and a user exist, e.g. PIN code based methods, devices with biometric sensors and more. There are today no device that provides these techniques and functionality all integrated in a tamper-resistant environment. This motivates the need for a secure locator device which provides authenticated user identification and authenticated geographical location in a way making it extremely difficult for the user to manipulate the device to give false user identification or geographical location.
To comply with the requirements of the first situation described above, a secure locator device must be able to generate an electronic message representing the unique identity of the sender, the position of the sender in some defined reference frame, e.g. by latitude and longitude in WGS84, at the time of the transmission, a message and a digital signature created from the message, the user identity, the position indication, and a timestamp.
To comply with the requirements of the second situation described above, a secure locator device must be able to grant access to a service only subject to verifying that the access conditions for the service are met, including that the user is a member of the intended group of recipients and that the geographical position of the user is acceptable.
The above requirements are fulfilled by the secure locator device according to the present invention as defined by the features stated in the patent claims. The secure locator device combines and integrates the mentioned techniques into a tamper resistant device to prevent manipulation of position, identity or other information by the user to obtain access to a geographically or otherwise restricted service. This is combined with a legal binding, i.e. a contract, where a user accepts that a digital signature generated by her/his secure locator device is legally equivalent to his written signature. The combination of these elements ensures the integrity of the message with authentication of the user's identity and location.
The following extensions of the invention are possible: For privacy reasons, the sender's position given in the output message M0 may be exchanged for a less accurate position indication, by either indicating the geographic area in which the sender is located or giving an affirmative or negative response to an inquiry about the sender's presence inside a specific geographical area. The same kind of degradation of accuracy may be applied in the service enabling case.
With the secure locator device according to the invention, a message sent from a user can be authenticated towards a service provider, i.e. so that s/he can be granted access to some service, or a potential user of some restricted service may be given access to the service by a secure locator device dependent on that the user meets the access criteria for the service including that the user's current geographical position is acceptable and that this has been verified by the secure locator device.
Obviously, the secure device according to the present invention can also be used in other situations where some of, or all, the above-mentioned functionality is necessary. In the drawing figure 1 discloses a functional description of the secure device according to the present invention, and figure 2 discloses a structural block diagram of the secure locator device according to the present invention.
Reference is made to the functional description of the secure device shown illustrated in the enclosed figure 1, disclosing the following sequence of events here called the functionality.
In some situations, illustrated by the description of the first situation above, the secure locator device is used for obtaining authenticated identity and authenticated geographical location regarding the sender of a message. In such situations the following functionality is relevant:
1. The secure locator device receives a command, containing an input message
Mi i.g.a general message and a user identification IDuser e.g. using a PIN code or biometrics.
2. The secure locator device checks the IDuser.
3. The secure locator device obtains own geographical position.
4. If the IDuser is legitimate, the secure device composes a new message M0 containing some, or all, of the following information:
- Signed/authenticated position of the sender
- Signed/authenticated time
- User authentication
- The input message Mj or a new message
5. The secure device computes a digital signature over M0. All or selected fields of M0 may also be encrypted.
6. The secure device gives a response containing the message M0 and the computed signature.
In other situations as illustrated by the description of the second situation above, the secure locator device is used for selectively authorising, i.g. allowing or denying a user access to some service. In such situations the following functionality is relevant:
1. The secure locator device receives a command, containing an input message Mj, including access conditions for some service, and possibly a user-identification IDuser, e-g- using a PIN code or biometrics.
2. If provided, the secure device checks the IDuser.
3. The secure locator device obtains own geographical position.
4. If the geographical position and other access criteria are acceptable, the secure locator device issues a command or message M0 that gives the user access to some service.
Reference is made to the structural block diagram of the secure locator device shown illustrated in the enclosed figure 2, disclosing the following structure: The secure locator device 1 consists of the following . functional blocks: A positioning device 2, a cryptographic computer 3, an I/O controller 4, a physical I/O device 5 and optionally an input device 7, e.g. for biometrics or PLN-input directly to the device. All these sub-devices are encapsulated in a tamper resistant physical enclosure 8 and or integrated in VLSI with security measures 8 to ensure the tamper resistance.
The positioning device 2 is producing information on the position. The positioning device can be an integrated GPS satellite receiver, a cellular phone unit/SIM microchip module with a program to determine location as a function of the network of base-stations or some other positioning device able to produce an absolute or relative position.
The security computer 3 is some computational device able to perform cryptographic and security functions as well as general computations.
The I/O controller 4 is either dedicated hardware and/or driver software to necessary or unnecessary support the communication towards the physical I/O device.
The physical I/O device 5 may be any standard connector or plug or devices, e.g. USB, ISO 7816 smart card interface, PCMCIA and others.
The input device 6 may be any input device, e.g. a general keyboard, connected to the Consumer Device. Optionally, the input device 7 may be any keyboard-type or biometrics device for user identification connected directly to the secure locator device.
Tamper resistance 8 can be achieved by encapsulating these modules in a tamper resistant physical enclosure and/or by exploiting different security measures feasible and inherent in VLSI technology.
