Abstract
A location-reporting request is sent by a processor to at least one remote server. The location-reporting request requests processing of data away from a geo-location-aware client device and instructs any available server to respond with a reported geographic location. An asserted geographic location is received from a remote server available to process the data. A determination is made as to whether the asserted geographic location of the available remote server satisfies location-based data processing restrictions that regulate remote processing of the data away from the geo-location-aware client device. In response to determining that the asserted geographic location of the available remote server satisfies the location-based data processing restrictions, the asserted geographic location is verified using a geo-location assertion server. In response to a successful verification of the asserted geographic location of the available remote server, the data is sent to the available remote server to process.
