Abstract
An approach is provided for securing vehicles from relay attacks using map database. The approach, for example, involves determining a first location of a vehicle and a first location of a user associated with the vehicle. The approach further involves determining, using a map database, at least one signal dead zone within a first pre-determined distance from the first location of the vehicle. A distance between the first location of the user associated with the vehicle and the first location of the vehicle exceeds the first pre-determined distance. The approach further involves generating a validation output in response to the first location of the user associated with the vehicle exceeding the first pre-determined distance from the first location of the vehicle.
