Abstract

With the progress of visible light communication (VLC) technology, opportunities for new mobile communication infrastructures and business creation are increasing. Specifically, there are many proposals for spot type broadcasting services linked to positions such as on-the-spot explanations at art museums and information delivery linked with digital signage. However, due to their limited capabilities, investigations into their security measures has been insufficient. On the other hand, in promoting VLC for business in the future, security measures are an important issue. We have previously proposed a secure business architecture through cooperation with VLC, public key encryption technology, and power line communication technology. This architecture provides an “position authentication ID” from a light source, such as an LED, and it is characterized by strict position authentication that encrypts these data using a public key infrastructure (PKI). In this paper, we propose a new business architecture to enable a more secure cooperation through cooperation with the ID management infrastructure, and contribute to the creation of new business by using VLC.
