“…In order to answer the question we analyzed the GPS coordinates achieved at one place and figured out how to determine the range. We collected GPS coordinates of our lab continuously for 24 hours for seven days and analyzed the variations of the coordinates in daily basis [1]. We took the mean value of any n successive coordinates and mark the latitude and longitude as Lat i and Lon i respectively (formula (3)).…”

“…These conventional security approaches were designed and deployed for the internal users and remote usage with the prerequisite of Internet availability thus they have the following ongoing issues. (1): Only the internal users can be protected by those security facilities and policies though security incidents occurred in the internal network is still on increasing; (2): Internet connection is not available everywhere thus the mechanism of remote usage cannot satisfy the requirements of human social activities; (3): Mobile devices are lack of processing capacity thus they cannot install and run powerful antivirus software and firewall system. Consequently, the reality is that people have to carry important data and private information with their mobile devices for business requirements as well as for personal social activities and face to data breaches.…”

Data breach and data destruction attack have become the critical security threats for the ICT (Information and Communication Technology) infrastructure. Both the Internet service providers and users are suffering from the cyber threats especially those to confidential data and private information. The requirements of human social activities make people move carrying confidential data and data breach always happens during the transportation. The Internet connectivity and cryptographic technology have made the usage of confidential data much secure. However, even with the high deployment rate of the Internet infrastructure, the concerns for lack of the Internet connectivity make people carry data with their mobile devices. In this paper, we describe the main patterns of data breach occur on mobile devices and propose a secure in-depth file system concealed by GPS-based mounting authentication to mitigate data breach on mobile devices. In the proposed in-depth file system, data can be stored based on the level of credential with corresponding authentication policy and the mounting operation will be only successful on designated locations. We implemented a prototype system using Veracrypt and Perl language and confirmed that the in-depth file system worked exactly as we expected by evaluations on two locations. The contribution of this paper includes the clarification that GPS-based mounting authentication for a file system can reduce the risk of data breach for mobile devices and a realization of prototype system.
