US 2023/0413031 A1 · DATA ATTESTATION IN A WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

Abstract

A wireless communication system attests to user data from a wireless user device. The wireless user device receives satellite signals from satellites and determines satellite signal metrics for the satellite signals. The wireless user device determines its geographic location based on the satellite signals. The wireless user device executes an operating system in trusted processing circuitry in response to device power-up. The wireless user device executes a network application in the trusted processing circuitry. The network application transfers the user data, geographic location, and signal metrics to network elements. The network elements determine known satellite metrics for the geographic location. The network elements compare the satellite signal metrics to the known satellite metrics and generate an attestation score for the user data based on the satellite comparison. The network elements store the user data, the geographic location, and the attestation score. The network elements may comprise distributed ledger nodes.
