Is the subscriber location information secure?
Verizon Wireless has taken many steps to ensure that the subscriber’s location is secure. Each LBS application is treated as untrusted, meaning that the application must be authenticated prior to being allowed to acquire the location of the device. In addition, third party application developers must provide to Verizon Wireless a plan for how they ensure that the customer’s location is kept secure. And they must sign a contract that states that they will ensure the customer’s location is kept secure.
