Abstract
Systems and methods for securely encoding geospatial coordinates in an internet protocol (IP) address. By using geohash polygons, the systems and methods encrypt geospatial coordinates within each of the geohash polygons using a scrambling and masking technique to ensure security. Geospatial coordinates are continuously updated using Continuously Operating Reference Stations (CORS) transmitted via a Virtual Private Network (VPN) using Long Range Wide Area Networks (LoRaWAN).
Claims20
A system for encoding a geospatial coordinate as an internet protocol (IP) address, comprising:
- at least one computer processor including a memory;
- and
- a server including a database;
- wherein the at least one computer processor is operable to receive at least one geospatial coordinate;
- wherein the at least one computer processor is operable to convert the at least one geospatial coordinate into a geohash;
- wherein the at least one computer processor is operable to encrypt the geohash and store the encrypted geohash as the IP address;
- wherein the at least one computer processor is operable to continuously update and correct the at least one geospatial coordinate using a stationary global positioning sensor (GPS);
- and
- wherein the IP address is saved in the database.
A method for encoding a geospatial coordinate as an internet protocol (IP) address, comprising:
- providing at least one computer processor including a memory;
- and
- providing a server including a database;
- receiving at least one geospatial coordinate;
- converting the at least one geospatial coordinate into a geohash;
- encrypting the geohash and storing the encrypted geohash as the IP address;
- continuously updating and correcting the at least one geospatial coordinate using a stationary global positioning sensor (GPS);
- and
- saving the IP address in the database.
