A method and apparatus for authenticating the identity of a remote user entity where the identity of such user entity is authenticated by use of information specific to geodetic location of the user entity but that changes constantly, making 'spoofing' the host device extremely difficult. The invention is preferably implemented utilizing satellite positioning technology to produce the identifying information.
