Ping-based protocols rely on cryptographic keys stored on the chip. Tee and Happel argue that an adversary with physical access could extract these keys and so compromise location verification 9. They propose GPU fingerprints as a mitigation, so far tested on 24 GPUs 9. Brass and Aarne assume the keys are stored securely, for example in a TPM 1.
