System and method for location assurance of a mobile device

Abstract

A method for forging location measurements at a wireless device can include determining, at the wireless device, a Cell-ID for a cell in a vicinity of a false location. The method can also include receiving, at the wireless device, an identification of a set of satellites that are within view from the false location. The method can further include generating, at the wireless device, forged location measurements that characterize satellite signals from a subset of the set of satellites that would be received at the false location. The method can still further include providing, from the wireless device, the forged location measurements.

1 . A method for forging location measurements at a wireless device, comprising:
 determining, at the wireless device, a Cell-ID for a cell in a vicinity of a false location;   receiving, at the wireless device, an identification of a set of satellites that are within view from the false location;   generating, at the wireless device, forged location measurements that characterize satellite signals from a subset of the set of satellites that would be received at the false location; and   providing, from the wireless device, the forged location measurements.
