    [BibTeX] [Abstract] [Download PDF]

    Online services, particularly those aimed at a specific user base such as a company’s employees, face the problem of identity management. Especially when the service constitutes some kind of social network, i.e., the validity of the users‘ identities matters, secure and reliable means for identity verification and authentication are required. In this paper, predicated on our previous work, we propose an identity management concept based on a) verification through physical presence and b) authentication through ownership. Our approach being a hybrid solution between a centralized authority and decentralized trust management is settled on a sweet spot between security and convenience for the users. In this extended version, we present the newly proposed Tree of Trust structure in more detail, and provide a thourough explanation how the system can be used in a technically more distributed manner, even supporting offline operation.

    [BibTeX] [Abstract]

    Due to the increasing popularity of location-based services, the need for reliable and cost-effective indoor positioning methods is rising. As an alternative to radio-based localization methods, in 2011, we introduced MoVIPS (Mobile Visual Indoor Positioning System), which is based on the idea to extract visual feature points from a query image and compare them to those of previously collected geo-referenced images. The general feasibility of positioning by SURF points on a conventional smartphone was already shown in our previous work. However, the system still faced several shortcomings concerning real-world usage such as request times being too high and distance estimation being unreliable because of the employed estimation method not being rotation invariant. In this paper, three extensions are presented that improve the practical applicability of MoVIPS. To speed up request times, both a dead reckoning approach (based on step counting using the accelerometer) and an orientation estimation (based on the smartphone’s compass) are introduced to filter relevant images from the database and thus to reduce the amount of images to compare the query image to. Furthermore, the vectors of the SURF points are quantized. For this purpose, clusters are calculated from all SURF points from the database. As a result, each image can be represented by a histogram of cluster frequencies, which can be compared with each other a lot more efficiently. The third extension is an improvement of the distance estimation method, which uses the matched feature points of an image to perform a perspective transformation and to determine the actual position with the aid of the transformation matrix. Employing the first extension, request times are reduced by 84\% percent. The quantization of the SURF points reduces the search time by a factor of 1000. Finally, the distance estimation is now rotation invariant and enables a better position correction.
