LAPPS: Location Aware Password Protection System
Chathura Sarathchandra Magurawalage, Kun Yang

TL;DR
LAPPS enhances password security by integrating location, time, and user-specific factors, generating dynamic, single-use passwords tied to specific locations and devices, thereby reducing fraud and unauthorized access.
Contribution
The paper introduces LAPPS, a novel location-aware password system that adds multiple security layers, including geographical, temporal, and user-specific constraints, to traditional password protection methods.
Findings
Passwords are valid only in specific locations and time frames.
System successfully generates one-time, location-bound passwords.
Enhanced security reduces unauthorized access risks.
Abstract
Location Aware Password Protection System (LAPPS) is designed to strengthen the security of traditional password protection systems. This is achieved by adding several layers of protection to the passwords that most traditional password protection systems generate. The current implementation looks at the Password/Pin numbers of Credit/Debit cards that are used on Automated Teller Machine (ATM),though the underlying design of the system can be used in many other scenarios. A password that is generated will be allocated to a particular user and to the ATM that is nearest to the user. LAPPS ensures the following qualities of the passwords that it generates. Location Awareness: The passwords are generated according to the users' geographical area, that they request their passwords from. So a password will only be active in just one location. Time Awareness: A password will only be valid for…
