The Commercial LBS: Shoot & Proof

Shoot & Proof is a mobile software which captures Certified Digital pictures

Picture captures are Geotagged, time-stamped, watermarked and encrypted at capture

The value chain allows for total integrity control from capture to storage

Legal value of the process has been tested and validated

Worldwide patent on the technology

ISO 27001 certified processes

But it remains a very simple 2 click mobile pic capture software

Slide 6

Analysis of the Shoot & Proof Features

Images, documents and forms are: Watermarked

Advanced digital watermarking Encrypted

Advanced cryptography Timestamping

Certified from an external time server Geotagging

From the internal positioning engine GPS, Cell-ID, etc

Slide 7

What about Location? Most existing Shoot & Proof

Clients are unaware that the location is less robust Happy with S&P service and

use it on a regular basis

But ... Some Clients have

requested Improved accuracy “Authenticated” positioning

The ATLAS Project

Authenticating Time and Location within Liability-critical Applications and Services

Successful bid into the latest FP7 GSA call, Use of EGNOS Services for Mass Market: Innovative Applications targeted to SMEs

18 month project, kicked off on 1st February 2010 3 Project Partners

Slide 9

Project Goals Address the needs for authenticated GNSS positioning

(& GNSS time) via GNSS Evidential Support Service Authenticated GNSS Service

Implement and validate these added services within the existing commercial Shoot & Proof system using a subset of the existing customers who are requesting the features The solutions must fit within the existing architectures, in

terms of handset and the data certification chain Ambitious project goals and timescale but achievable

through the modification of existing assets

Slide 10

GNSS Evidential Support Service Provision of a Web-based Service delivering the

nominal performance of GNSS (including EDAS) Modification of existing tools

Slide 11

Authenticated GNSS Service Ensuring that the location information is of adequate

quality and has not been compromised. This will be carried out via

Differential GNSS Improving accuracy using an EDAS based server-side service

GNSS Data Sanity Checks PVT, SV info (az, el, snr) consistency and expectancy checks

GNSS Quality Measures RAIM Integrity algorithms

GNSS Receiver Diagnostics GNSS Acquisition and tracking analysis/routines

Authenticated GNSS Service:Existing Assets Server side

EDAS monitoring service to provide position domain correction Existing Handset based Features

Geographical and time based encryption Integrity algorithms originating from aviation

Additional hardware Based on NSL’s SDR GNSS
