An efficient software-based security acceleration methods for open LBS services

Location-based services refers to value-added service by processing information utilizing mobile user location. With the rapidly increasing wireless Internet subscribers and world LBS market, the various location based applications are introduced such as buddy finder, proximity and security services. As the killer application of the wireless Internet, the LBS has reconsidered technology about location determination technology, LBS middleware server for various application, and diverse contents processing technology. However, there are fears that this new wealth of personal location information will lead to new security risks, and invasion of the privacy of people and organizations. In this paper, we suggest security acceleration methods for fast open LBS using XML signcryption mechanism. And proposed secure LBS security protocols allows a client to offload mobile certificate handling to the server and to enable the central administration of privacy policies. The idea is to create a signcryption technique for software based XML signature acceleration.
