As per the recent studies, the volatile growth has been seen in the use of mobile devices as the supporting technology for accessing Internet based services, as well as for personal communication needs in networking. Various studies indicate that it is impossible to utilize strong cryptographic functions for implementing security protocols on mobile devices. Our research negates this. Explicitly, a performance analysis focused on the most commonly used cryptographic protocols based on the location address (latitude & longitude) of the user for mobile applications and anticipated provably secure authentication protocol that is more efficient than any of the existing authentication protocol is being discussed in this paper. Understanding the use of public key cryptography which makes potential use of discrete logarithms problem. The security of ECC depends on the difficulty of Elliptic Curve Discrete Logarithm. To provide secure communication for mobile devices, authenticated protocol is an important primitive for establishing trusted connection. In this paper, it has been studied that the location based system provides a better security and acquires much less energy consumption than the existing authentication protocols.
