Original Abstract

The lecture deals with the current knowledge in the interdisciplinary field of Cybergeography. The presented approaches describe methods for delimiting a geographical area that includes an Internet device. The general remote methods are considered; these may be used for any Internet device without knowledge of its use (mobile, fixed), available hardware resources (GPS and WiFi triangulation is not considered), and installed applications. A description of address allocation and dedicated geolocation databases is presented. The lecture goes into more detail in analysing network communication since new applications emerge in this area. The measurement-based methods include constraint-based geolocation and probabilistic modelling. Knowledge in Cybergeography is used for implementing a vast number of location-aware applications, including web content personalization and user behaviour analysis. The lecture covers cybersecurity applications dealing with the detection of on-line identity theft and credit card fraud, and verification of server authenticity.
