“…The idea of location-based encryption is further used by many researchers in their scheme to enhance security. Ala Al-Fuqaha, Omar Al-Ibrahim [17] they use Geo-Encryption to ensure that message are exchanged between mobile nodes securely, by allowing the decryption of the message at the specified location and time.…”

Cloud computing is utility-based computing provides many benefits to its clients but security is one aspect which is delaying its adoptions. Security challenges include data security, network security and infrastructure security. Data security can be achieved using Cryptography. If we include location information in the encryption and decryption process then we can bind access to data with the location so that data can be accessed only from the specified locations. In this paper, we propose a method based on the symmetric cryptography, location-based cryptography and ciphertext policy-Attribute-based encryption (CP-ABE) to implements secure access control to the outsourced data. The Symmetric key is used to encrypt that data whereas CP-ABE is used to encrypt the secret key and the location lock value before uploading on the server. User will download encrypted data and the symmetric secret key XORed with the Location Lock value, using his attributes based secret key he can obtain first XORed value of Symmetric secret key and location lock value. Using anti-spoof GPS Location lock value can be obtained which can be used to retrieve the symmetric secret key. We have adopted Massage Authentication Code (MAC) to ensure Integrity and Availability of the data. This protocol can be used in the Bank, government organization, military services or any other industry those are having their offices/work location at a fixed place, so data access can be bounded to that location.

“…Rules specify the context that needs to be taken into account, i.e. rules could be based on the sender and receiver's location [2]- [4], IP address as well as other contexts [5]. The rules and facts, on decryption are used to make a decision about whether the receiver can be allowed to decrypt the content or not.…”

“…Al-Fuqaha and O. Al-Ibrahim [2] explored the concept of GPS-based encryption and adds a layer of security to the traditional cryptographic methods by restricting decryption based on the location and time period of decryption. The decrypter is required to obtain a geo-secured decryption key in the specified time period to be able to decrypt the content.…”

Cryptography allows a person to encrypt/decrypt the content if s/he has the secret key. Since a key can in itself be inadvertently disclosed, stolen, guessed or computed using various brute force mechanisms, there is a need for adding intelligence to the encryption and decryption process. Contextbased content sharing system will allow a person to decrypt content not just based on him/her having the key, but also by considering the contexts associated with the sender and/or the receiver before allowing decryption to proceed. This way, it adds a level of security on top of encryption. In addition to that, failed decryption attempts can be notified to the owner of the encrypted content. This adds more stealth in the system.

“…In turn, LBE requires that this is only possible if the receiver's device is physically present at location L, or respectively inside an geographic area associated with L. Location verification hinges on a tamper-resistant GPS receiver inside the recipient's mobile device. In LBE, the sender has to transmit parameters which define the area where decryption is permitted and may specify further dynamic constraints like time periods or receiver velocity that have to verified upon decryption [31]. In general, location-based encryption techniques require an efficient mapping from location areas to symmetric keys, which is called location lock in the following.…”

Efficient emergency communication is of high practical importance, but has specific challenges: unpredictable local emergency situations harden the establishment of communication structures, legal requirements dictate the use of endto-end secure and documentable approaches, while users demand ease-of-use and privacy protection. Dealing with these challenges, the contribution of this paper is four-fold: first, together with emergency practioners we define realistic security requirements and patterns for ubiquitous emergency communication. Second, we devise techniques for privacyrespecting re-identificaton of pseudonymous receivers. Third, we propose a new hybrid encryption technique for expressive policies, which combines ciphertext-policy attribute-based encryption with location-based encryption. Fourth, building on the new techniques, we introduce MundoMessage, our approach to multilaterally end-to-end secure, user-friendly attribute-based messaging for emergency communication. Finally, we analyze our approach.
