Don't Locate It - Geocate It
Geocate,
simply put, is the way we can tell where an internet user is
located.
Summary
Geocation™ is the process of determining the location of an
IP address on a network. If you know where the IP address is,
you can verify that it's user really is where they claim to
be.
- The Geocate family of products are the worlds first
non-mapping, non time-to-distance network location
technology.
Geocate overcomes the now well-known problems related to
IP mapping and drastically improves on time-to-distance
techniques that attempt to triangulate network locations a
manner similar to GPS.
- Geocate provides fraud control systems with the pivotal
information - the users geographical location - required
to authenticate that a user is where they should be.
Geocation provides the underlying information required by
fraud control systems as used for account access
authorization, merchant credit card processing, product
delivery address confirmation and more.
- Geocate can be used to target on-line users with
geographically relevant advertising material, promotions
and items.

FINDbase Announces Powerful New
Solution For Online Identity Authentication
Geocate
& GNT Technologies Provide Increased Accuracy
For Fraud Control Systems
TWAIN
HARTE, California.
February 2, 2005
FINDbase™, a California based technology
development corporation, today announced the
launch of Geocation™, the most advanced solution available to authenticate
the geographic location of Internet users.
GeocationTM is the action of using two
FINDbase technologies, GEOCATE and GNT, to detect
the physical location of an Internet user in real
time. The combination of these radically different
techniques is the only solution that overcomes
major shortcomings of other widely used
geolocation programs such as triangulation and IP
mapping.

Geocate vs. IP Address Mapping
There are a number of commercial services that report the
physical location for an Internet IP address by looking up
the address in a proprietary database. There are however,
numerous shortcomings with this approach, the largest being
the sheer amount of data that needs to be processed. Such
solutions are often not "real time" in so far as
they report where the IP address is registered rather than
(and more usefully) where the IP address is being used. Users
wanting to defraud this type of system can simply access an
ISP in the location they want to appear to be in. Worse
still, a great many of AOL's dial up servers are registered
in Virginia and DSL provides often "back haul"
their data to different locations, so no matter where you
actually are, you could easily appear to be somewhere else.
Geocate and GNT overcome these problems to provide greater
accuracy and confidence.
The changing Internet....
The internet world is rapidly
moving from IP version 4 (IP4) to IP version 6 (IP6) with
128 bits. Chances are that the computer you are viewing this
page with already supports IPv6. IP4 provides
4,294,967,296 unique addresses. While it is possible to
record the geographical location of all 4,294,967,296 IP
addresses, it's simply not possible to map the IP6 range -
it's just too big. IP6 provides for 2128 or
3.40e+38 unique addresses. Put another way, that's:
340,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000
unique addresses,
a number so large that it cannot be mapped
with current or imminently available technology.
|
Geocate
doesn't map the IP addresses, providing a highly
scalable and efficient solution. It will work with
IP4 and uniquely, with the entire IP6 range.
