"Geo-Encryption Lite" -A location based encryption application for android
Project Abstract / Summary : To develop an android application named “Geo-Encryption Lite” that will limit the access (decryption) of information content to specified location and/or times. It will provide an additional layer of security over normal cryptographic techniques. If someone attempts to decrypt the data at some other location, the decryption process fails and reveals no details about the original plaintext information.
Its Application :
1.Digital Film Media
This location based encryption technology can be extended to employ applications like digital film distribution etc.
“Today, the film studios spend over $1 billion each year to duplicate, distribute, rejuvenate, redistribute and ultimately destroy the thousands of film reels required to bring the close to 500 films released each year to audiences across the U.S.”
Geoencryption would provide a very efficient and cost effective digital cinema distribution model, but piracy is a major concern.
2.In military:
For e.g. In a military application, the decrypt location might correspond to the location of a submarine or concealed military forces, or the location of a target where a weapon will activate following decryption. Even if the application itself does not require location secrecy, keeping the decrypt location secret can help protect against spoofing.
Furthermore, if military forces move through a region, message sent to their communication devices could be enciphered to their current location. If devices fall to enemy hands, they will be useless as the forces will have moved on and it can be only deciphered at that location only.
Others:
Can be used in banking applications where data such as account details need to be secure and details should be open at only bank location. Also confidential data sharing between business firms can be accomplished.
Why did you choose to work on this project topic : This project is all about information security and data in transit,We all know what security means to us.Here we are adding an another layer of security over normal cryptographic technique.As this is an android application , we are trying to make our mobile devices very secure as it is used by billions of people and there is high level of insecurity while using mobile devices for exchanging sensitive data.So ,with our app people can feel there mobile device is very secure .
