Abstract

One of the driving forces behind the development of 3G systems is the potential to deliver complex content to
consumers. This is evident from the growing collaboration
between broadcast and mobile network operators, and the
expectation that future broadcast receivers will be able
to forward content to mobile devices. One challenge in
providing such a service is the requirement for content
protection. An aspect of this that is particularly relevant
to mobile systems is the ability to control where content
is viewed. Although 3G networks can provide location of
a user’s receiver, this device may be in a different location
from the device that renders the content. Thus the provider
cannot be certain where the content will be viewed.
This paper proposes two protocols that will provide the
location of the end device in a secure manner that can be
trusted by the content provider.
