Abstract

As the Internet becomes more ubiquitous, everyone could access the data and services anytime, anywhere. However, it raises the challenge to enforce physical access control for the data or services to only be accessed in specific locations. Location-based access control (LBAC) systems could provide physical access control by only authorizing access to the services or data for the requesters at the allowed locations. In this paper, we continue our previous work and assess the feasibility of using Internet-based location for LBAC systems by inferring the information from the requester’s Internet-connected device to determine whether the requester is in the allowed location. We develop Internet-based location access control (ILAC) system to determine and verify the requester’s location using two delay-based geolocation algorithms and third-party open-source intelligence services. The evaluation conducted in the Amazon Mechanical Turk proves the Internet-based location has great potential as a location information input for LBAC systems with country-level accuracy.
