Location data authentication

Let's say I have mobile phone that gets GPS data about it's moving. So I will have some time stamp (t) and the location (s) in this time - t1s2, t2s2, ... tnsn. Are there some methods how to check if the locations are the most probably authentic and not faked? I know that there were lots of problems with this when Pokemon Go was released and lots of security methods were invented, but I can't find any sources about it.



Do you know some methods or sources with methods how to authenticaite a location data?

  • There are multiple ways. 1. Check the distance change if it is drastic the user is spoofing. 2. Check the user speed. 3. Check if the area the user is on is accessible or not. 4. check the user's conntction type ie is he on wifi or cellular network. if on wifi and moved a great distance user is spoof. 5. Check for emulators/custom roms.
