Dynamic navigation devices like Global Positioning Systems (GPSs) are deployed for various purposes in different areas and these devices are usually the central point of interest of various groups like hackers to exploit the data sent and received by GPS systems. The GPS data is usually manipulated using spoofing attacks. This paper proposes a robust solution to the spoofing attacks carried out to manipulate, control and modify the location sharing of smart containers. The primary focus of this paper is securing the GPS information shared by the smart containers. The location shared by the smart containers is secured by encrypting it with Pretty Good Privacy (PGP) algorithm to avoid spoofing attacks in particular. The encrypted GPS location is sent across any communication channel. The receiver side will decrypt the encrypted GPS location at the receiving end. Hence, using this method of PGP encryption will ensure the safe and secure sharing of GPS location by the smart containers. As a result, GPS security has been improved by 80%.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
