Abstract: The wide spread of WLAN and the popularity of mobile devices increase the frequency of data transmission among mobile users. However, most of the data encryption technology is location-independent. Indeed, an encrypted data can be decrypted anywhere, however, The encryption technology cannot restrict the location of data decryption. Therefore, our objective is to add a layer of security to the network without breaking the network rules and to decrease network traffic. These aims can be achieved by two ways. First, when the receivers decrypt almost all the encrypted messages sent by senders. Second, when a decrease in the message queuing occurs. In order to meet the demand of mobile users in the future, a location-dependent approach is proposed in which target latitude/longitude coordinate must be determined. The coordinate is incorporated with a random key for data encryption. The receiver can only decrypt the ciphertext when the coordinate acquired from GPS receiver is matched with the target coordinate. | ||||
