Objective

ATLAS concerns the development of an assurance and authentication service for GNSS-derived time and position information for use in liability-critical LBS applications across a wide variety of market sectors. The targeted LBS application to be enhanced during the project is a highly innovative, existing commercial service that authenticates digital images and video taken from mobile phones and devices using digital watermarking of time and location data. The commercial service is known as ‘Shoot&Proof’ (www.shootandproof.com). With this service, a Shoot&Proof-enabled mobile phone is used to take a photograph, for instance of damage to property. The image is watermarked with the picture timestamp, geo-reference and other associated data. It is then certified and sent to a secure server and stored for several years during which the image can be retrieved by the owner and used for evidentiary purposes.

By using Shoot&Proof, original digital photographs cannot be falsified and have evidentiary value before the courts which is not the case with normal digital photographs. However, the existing service relies on open, standard, publicly-available GPS which is vulnerable to system faults and failures, including intentional spoofing and jamming. This exposes a potential weakness which shall be addressed through a GNSS data authentication service.
