A Delay Step Based Geolocation Data Verification Method

IP Geolocation technology is widely used in network security, especially in attack tracing, cyberspace security situation analysis and display, which has attracked attentions both in academic research and commercial applications. At present, there are many commercial or open source IP geolocation databases on the Internet. These databases have different geolocation accuracy, can not provide consistent positioning results, and seriously affect the user’s confidence in these databases. To create an accurate geolocation database, a delay step based geolocation data verification method was proposed to find suspicious data in the geolocation database, and then an adaptive localization algorithm is introduced to verify the questionable data and improve the accuracy of geolocation database. Experiments show that by this method nearly half of the geolocation data can be verified, and results on the test data show the proposed method can efficiently improve the geolocation database.
