Abstract
A computer-implemented method, a computer program product, and a computer system for using a user location as a security factor for online services. Upon receiving from a computing device of a user a request for a digital service allowed in a geofence, a first computer hosting a digital service provider generates an original one-time password (OTP) and sends the original OTP to a second computer hosting a communication service provider. The second computer encrypts the original OTP using a private key for a mobile network cell communicating with a mobile device of the user and sends an encrypted OTP to the mobile device. Upon receiving the encrypted OTP from the computing device, the first computer decrypts the encrypted OTP, using public keys for one or more cells covering the geofence. Upon determining a decrypted OTP matches the original OTP, the first computer allows the digital service to be provided.
