Abstract
In recent years, location of mobile devices has become an important factor. Location proof of a particular
person relies on his/her mobile device position. One of the valuable features of the location proofs tells about accessing
the location based services (LBS) by using mobile devices. Location based services allow users to access services based
on the users geographical information. The service is mainly based on location proof which is given by the user and the
presence of the user at the given location at a given time. We propose a witness oriented asserted location provenance
framework by providing a witness and we also generate the cryptoID for each user. This is based on asserted location
proof protocol (ALP). We preserve the location information of the user for a long time. Witness oriented application
features a web-based service provider, a desktop-based location authority server, an Android-based user app, and a
desktop-based auditor. The results show location proofs effectively, which significantly preserve the source location.
