Abstract
The present disclosure provides an apparatus and a method for determining a location-spoofing application, the method comprising: generating a numeric representation of an application name of an application used for generating a geolocation position signal of a user using a variable derived from a list of application names relating to a plurality of other applications capable of generating a geolocation position signal of a user; and determining a prediction on whether the application is a location-spoofing application based on a scale of the generated numeric representation of the application name.
Claims14
An apparatus for determining a location-spoofing application, the apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory including non-transitory computer-readable medium:
- the at least one memory and the non-transitory computer-readable medium configured to, with at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to:
- generate a numeric representation of an application name of an application used for generating a geolocation position signal of a user using a variable derived from a list of application names relating to a plurality of other applications capable of generating a geolocation position signal of a user;
- and
- determine a prediction on whether the application is a location-spoofing application based on a scale of the generated numeric representation of the application name.
A method for determining a location-spoofing application, the method comprising:
- generating, by a prediction module of a location-spoofing application determination system, a numeric representation of an application name of an application used for generating a geolocation position signal of a user using a variable derived, by the prediction module, from a list of application names relating to a plurality of other applications capable of generating a geolocation position signal of a user;
- and
- determining, by the prediction module, a prediction on whether the application is a location-spoofing application based on a scale of the generated numeric representation of the application name.
