Abstract
A location stamp automatically attached to messages indicates location information such as longitude and latitude information from a GPS device. The location stamp helps a receiver to identify the location of the sender or a transaction, identify the sender, and provides context to the message that further indicates the messages meaning. Applications of the location stamp include authentication of the location of a sender or a transaction and identifying the location of a sender for a search and rescue.
