An ibeacon anti-spoofing method, authentication server, and base station

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for preventing location cheating for iBeacon, and the method comprises the steps as follows: sending the current dynamic random number, Major initial value and Minor initial value to the iBeacon base station by the authentication server; receiving and analyzing the notice frame data broadcasted by iBeacon base station and obtained by the mobile phone APP and sending the data message, obtains the Major, Minor of mobile phone APP and user ID, having the OR operation on the obtained Major, Minor and the current dynamic random number to obtain the correlative value of the Major and Minor; judging whether the correlative value of the Major and the initial value and the correlative value of the Minor and the initial value is equal; if yes, the authentication server sends the permission and user ID to the server, the mobile phone APP can obtain the application service of the application server. According to the present invention implementation case, and there is no need to modify the iBeacon protocol standard, the replay attack can be safely and effectively resisted for preventing location cheating for iBeacon.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of wireless communication, in particular to an iBeacon anti-spoofing method, an authentication server, an iBeacon base station and a communication network based on the iBeacon. Background technique [0002] iBeacon is a precise micro-positioning technology based on Bluetooth 4.0 launched by Apple in 2013. When the handheld device is close to an iBeacon base station, the device can sense the iBeacon signal, and the range can be from a few millimeters to 50 meters. As a new Features are integrated into IOS 7, and a large number of emerging applications and services based on iBeacon emerge as the times require. iBeacon has been applied in many fields such as indoor positioning and navigation, business information push, sign-in service, mobile payment and so on. . [0003] iBeacon technology provides a method to create and monitor iBeacon base stations, which use BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy, Bluetooth Low Energy...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0008] Because iBeacon is a simple and open protocol without defined security specifications, its open data format causes iBeacon to have serious security problems, especially iBeacon location spoofing by using replay attacks, which directly threatens the deployment of iBeacon base stations and merchants using iBeacon technology and personal interests and safety

At present, some companies and research institutions at home and abroad that provide iBeacon base stations and base station deployment services provide some iBeacon security solutions, but most of them are based on modifying the iBeacon protocol standard, and only adapt to products such as iBeacon base stations manufactured by themselves. Compatible with existing iBeacon protocol standard products on the market
