The actual geographic position where the stored > information is located, and the actual date/time can be > determined, for example, based on signals received at a > receiver supplying reliable position and time information, > such as a GPS receiver. Access to the stored information is > authorized if the actual geographic position and/or date/time > falls within the authorized geographic region and/or > date/time interval. The position and date/time information > supplied by the receiver may be cryptographically signed and > encrypted. >
