FGoAT: Proof of Location

Deepak is working on verifiably proving geolocation of files, identities, and arbitrary computation. The current method to determine geographic location is through GPS or IP addresses, which can be spoofed. Having geo-distributed verifiers would be a great starting point, and the millions of geodistributed websites hosted by businesses all over the world seems like an untapped resource for solving this problem. Deepak is leveraging distributed timestamps from these servers to validate locations, and has built a demonstration of the mechanism.
