Abstract

Current proximity verification and ranging systems are prone to distance modification attacks that can lead to loss of property or even human life. The authors survey the various approaches currently used to determine proximity and analyze their resilience against distance modification attacks. Drawing on these observations, they offer suggestions for design requirements that might help systems prove proximity with high-security guarantees.
