Abstract:
Location-based, context-aware challenge-response authentication may be provided. First, a challenge may be provided to a user. The challenge may be based on a context corresponding to the user. The context corresponding to the user may comprise a location of a device associated with the user within an environment. Next, in response to providing the challenge, a response to the challenge may be received from the user. Then, in response to receiving the response to the challenge, it may be determined that the response is a correct answer to the challenge. In response to determining the response is the correct answer, a privilege may be provided to the user.
