I was impressed with responses I read in another post, so I was hoping to get some insight from the experts. Here the story…
A digital document signing service provides the IP addresses of parties signing documents as a method to verify the location of the signing parties.
I argue, what happens when one of the parties signs the document from a cell phone, or an iPad?
Based on what I’ve learned, providing the IP address of a cell phone/pad as a means to verify location is worthless due to the fact cell data (and not voice only) is fed to centralized MSC’s, which can be up to 30-40 miles away from the actual cell tower the cell phone/pad connects to.
The other parties argue IP addresses are handed out by each tower the cell phone connects to, and thus while not perfect, the IP address of a cell used in a document signing transaction is a meaningful way to verify approximate location of the cell phone/iPad (5-7 miles).
What do you guys think?
Things I'm NOT interested in, and I'm not asking about - subpoena the cell company, triangulation, or search warrants.
