| Abstract | So far, the problem of positioning in wireless networks
has been studied mainly in a non-adversarial settings. In
this work, we analyze the resistance of positioning techniques to
position and distance spoofing attacks. We propose a mechanism
for secure positioning of wireless devices, that we call Verifiable
Multilateration. We then show how this mechanism can be used
to secure positioning in sensor networks. We analyze our system
through simulations. |
