Abstract

Concepts and technologies disclosed herein are directed to location-based blockchain. A localized corroborator system can receive, from a user device, an initiation message including a public key, and in response, can generate and send the random session identifier to the user device. The system can receive, from the user device, a signed session identifier including the random session identifier signed by the user device using a private key. The system can check a time that elapsed between sending the random session identifier to the user device and receiving the signed session identifier from the user device. The system can verify authenticity of the signed session identifier using the public key. In response to the time being less than a pre-defined threshold, the system can issue a location certificate to the user device. The user device can utilize the location certificate to conduct a certified blockchain transaction in a blockchain.
