GPS Identity

Humans create.

"Its based on the idea that precise location as a function of time serves as an important component of personal digital identity.

"For instance, authentication is accomplished by checking that successive locations are reasonable given the means available for transport (walking, car or bus travel, airliner etc.)

"GPS, Accelerometer and other sensors are common to smartphones that usually travel with a person. Couple this data with other time related activity (texting, phone conversations, financial transactions) and a robust dynamic profile of one and only one person emerges.

"Appropriate privacy is essential to this form of personal identification. It should be under control of the specific person as well as the group of people that desire the benefits without compromising their personal security."
