Zusammenfassung: | A system increases security for personal devices. An authenticating authority receives an authentication request from a personal device. The authenticating authority obtains a current location of the personal device from a location server, where the location server transmits the current location to the authenticating authority. The location server receives location information associated with the personal device, where the location information is transmitted to the location server by a location updating daemon running on the personal device. The authenticating authority compares the current location received from the location server to a zone associated with the personal device to determine processing of the authentication request. The zone is retained by the authenticating authority. |
