Abstract

In this paper we analyze the security vulnerabilities of positionbased routing protocols and virtual home region (VHR)-based distributed position service systems. We propose methods to protect the position information from both external and internal attackers. We then discuss and propose several mitigation mechanisms against position abuse by internal attackers that exploit the position service to trace their targets. Finally, we propose a position verification mechanism that allows the position service to verify that the positions reported by nodes are correct.
