Secure Geolocation for Wireless Indoor Networks

Abstract

The objective of the research is to develop an accurate system for indoor location estimation using a secure architecture based on the IEEE 802.11 standard for infrastructure networks. Elements of this secure architecture include: server-oriented platform for greater trust and manageability; multiple wireless network parameters for improved accuracy; and Support Vector Regression (SVR) for accurate, high-resolution estimates. While these elements have been investigated individually in earlier research, none has combined them to a single security-oriented system. Thus this research investigates the feasibility of using these elements together.
