Abstract
A method for secure access to a mobile edge computing gateway device based on a subscriber location fingerprint may comprise receiving a request to access the mobile edge computing gateway, a first user credential, and an encrypted token from a requesting user, associating the first user credential with a block chain location fingerprint for the subscribing user, including a plurality of time-stamped records of a plurality of estimated or measured location state variables of the subscribing user and an associated confidence interval representing an accuracy of those variables, decrypting the location fingerprint, receiving a requesting user location measurement, predicting a current location for the subscribing user and an associated current confidence interval based on recent location state variables in the location fingerprint, and allowing the requesting user access to the mobile edge computing gateway when the received requesting user location measurement falls within the value of the current confidence interval.
