Abstract:
1. A method for implementing login protection to a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receiver, said method comprising: accessing a decryption key which is uniquely associated with at least one geospatial data collection device configured to be communicatively coupled with a second device comprising said GNSS receiver; verifying said geospatial data collection device using said decryption key; permitting said geospatial data collection device to access a control interface of said GNSS receiver; receiving an identification which is assigned to said geospatial data collection device and a product identification which is assigned to said GNSS receiver; and using said identification and said product identification to identify said decryption key and a second decryption key; and using said second decryption key to derive a geographic region identification from said identification.
