Abstract:
1. A method, at one or more static nodes, for determining location information of a mobile node, comprising: receiving a device identifier over a public network from the mobile node at a transceiver in the one or more static nodes, the device identifier being generated at the mobile node from input parameters including a combination of at least one user-configurable parameter and at least one non-user-configurable parameter of the mobile node, wherein the device identifier is further generated by utilizing at least one irreversible transformation of the at least one user-configurable parameter and the at least one non-user-configurable parameter of the mobile node, whereby the input parameters cannot be derived from the resulting device identifier; accessing a database of authorized identifiers corresponding to known mobile nodes; establishing, in response to the device identifier matching one of the authorized identifiers, a secure private network (SPN) with the mobile node; and using triangulation to determine a location of the mobile node.
