Distance Bounding Publication Database
Distance bounding protocols determine an upper-bound on the physical distance between devices. This is an important aspect of secure location services within sensor networks and other pervasive computing applications that is gaining some research momentum.I am compiling a database of research articles that are related to distance bounding protocols. If you wish to suggest a publication to be added please send me an email with the relevant information. Please include a link to a copy of the document. I will not add any document to the list unless I can verify that it meets the topic criteria. If the document is copyrighted and you cannot place it in a publicly accessible area please send me a copy (documents will not be published on this page).
