Position information is essential for many vehicular applications like traffic information and route planning but also for enabling vital network routing services. However, the accuracy of the latter is highly dependent of a precise location service which might be altered by attackers forging falsified position data. In this paper, we propose a new method for tracking and removing location spoofing anomalies in large scale position based services assuming no control of the communication infrastructure or additional hardware or software at the client side. Our system uses aggregation of location information combined with relevant stability metrics.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
