Security in Distributed Systems by Verifiable Location-Based Identities. (arXiv:2302.14713v1 [cs.CR])

Proof-of-Location (PoL) is a lightweight security concept for
Internet-of-Things (IoT) networks, focusing on the sensor nodes as the least
performant and most vulnerable parts of IoT networks. PoL builds on the
identification of network participants based on their physical location. It
introduces a secondary message type to exchange location information. Via these
messages, the nodes can verify the integrity of other network participants and
reach a consensus to identify potential attackers and prevent malicious
information from spreading. The paper presents …
