In today's world mobile communication has become part and parcel of our daily life. It's hard to imagine today life without the service and application that are provided by the mobile device. These services and applications are basically wireless based and there is always need of secure communication or some kind of channel. Encryption is one way of providing secure communication but most of the existing data encryption techniques are location independent. And here comes the concept of "GeoEncryption" or "Location-Based encryption". It provides an additional layer of security beyond that provided by conventional cryptography. It allows the encryption of data as well as decryption for a specific location(s) or specific area(s) e.g. college campus area or in a particular building. Constraints in time as well as velocity can also be added with respect to the location while encryption. Geoencryption can be used with both fixed and mobile application and supports wide range of data sharing and distribution policy.
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.
