“…A mobile phone would need to be equipped with a GPS receiver and the accuracy of integrated receivers is greatly diminished when operating indoors, where you would expect most transactions to take place. c) Other Location Mechanisms: There are a number of other method for determining device location, even FM radio technology has been proposed as a localization technology [76], although these are not as directly linked to mobile phones as Cell-ID and GPS. All that is required is that two devices can with some certainty verify that they are in close proximity to each other.…”

Contactless technology is widely used in security sensitive applications, including identification, payment and access-control systems. Near Field Communication (NFC) is a short-range contactless technology allowing mobile devices to act primarily as either a reader or a token. Relay attacks exploit the assumption that a contactless token within communication range is in close proximity, by placing a proxy-token in range of a contactless reader and relaying communication over a greater distance to a proxy-reader communicating with the authentic token. It has been theorised that NFC-enabled mobile phones could be used as a generic relay attack platform without any additional hardware, but this has not been successfully demonstrated in practice. We present a practical implementation of an NFCenabled relay attack, requiring only suitable mobile software applications. This implementation reduces the complexity of relay attacks and therefore has potential security implications for current contactless systems. We also discuss countermeasures to mitigate the attack.

“…The contribution of this paper is three-fold: i) further improvement of the FM positioning system we proposed in [34], ii) a synergetic approach based on the combined advantages of PM and Wi-Fi positioning systems and iii) the introduction and the proof of the concept of spontaneous recalibration for PM positioning.…”

Position of mobile users has become highly important information in pervasive computing environments. Indoor localization systems based on Wi-Fi signal strength fingerprinting techniques are widely used in office buildings with existing Wi·Fi infrastructure. Our previous work has proposed a solution based on exploitation of FM signal to deal with environments not covered with Wi·Fi signal or environments with only single Wi·Fi access point. However, a general problem of indoor wireless positioning systems pertains to signal degradation due to the environmental factors affecting signal propagation. Therefore, in order to maintain a desirable level of localization accuracy, it becomes necessary to perform periodic calibration of the system, which is either time consuming or requires dedicated equipment and expert knowledge. In this paper, we present a comparison of FM versus Wi-Fi positioning systems and a combination of both systems, exploiting their strengths for indoors positioning.Finally, we address the problem of recalibration by introducing a novel concept of spontaneous recalibration and demonstrate it using the FM localization system.
