GPS Signing for DocuSign

• 

  Log in successful: checking coordinates

Inspiration

"Geospoofing" is a widely known entry level form of security evasion. It seemed appropriate to create a device at a hackathon to combat it

What it does

By interfacing the DocuSign API with a physical GPS, it makes it very difficult to sign documents without your knowledge.

How I built it

The key to the Geosigning is just getting a very low level form of communication (Serial) to play nice with the higher levels of communication that DocuSign uses (we chose to implement it with Java).

Challenges I ran into

It isn't common to need to interface a low level hardware communication protocol with java, so finding reliable libraries to perform these tasks, and IDEs that didn't give us sass about them, was very challenging

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

For most of us (aerospace or electrical engineering focused), using high level languages and scripts that the DocuSign API uses was a new experience and we learned a lot.

How to read API documentation

What's next for GPS Signing for DocuSign

Encrypting the information passed between the arduino and the application. Hosting the application on a web server. Adding a mobile application (which we made good headway on) for double GPS security.
