For overcoming the performance degradation problems of the conventional visible light (VL) positioning system, which are due to the co-channel interference by adjacent light and the irregularity of the VL reception position in the three dimensional (3-D) VL channel, the secure positioning technique based on the two dimensional (2-D) encrypted VL map is proposed, implemented as the prototype for the specific embedded positioning system, and verified by performance tests in this paper. It is shown from the test results that the proposed technique achieves the performance enhancement over 21.7% value better than the conventional one in the real positioning environment, and the well known PN code is the optimal stream encryption key for the good VL positioning.
