Abstract
A method for secure access to a mobile edge-computing system device based on a subscriber location fingerprint may comprise receiving a request to access the mobile edge-computing system, a first personal authorization credential record, and an encrypted token from a requesting client, associating the first personal authorization credential record with a block chain location fingerprint for the subscribing client, including a plurality of time-stamped records of a plurality of estimated or measured location state variables of the subscribing client and an associated confidence interval representing an accuracy of those variables, decrypting the location fingerprint, receiving a requesting client location measurement, predicting a current location for the subscribing client and an associated current confidence interval based on recent location state variables in the location fingerprint, and allowing the requesting client access to the mobile edge-computing system when the received requesting client location measurement falls within the value of the current confidence interval.
