A novel access control framework for secure pervasive computing
Saeed Rashwand, Jelena Mišić · 2010
Pervasive computing technology as the next generation of mobile computing has new and specific characteristics such as very high dynamicity, enormous heterogeneity, pervasive access to services and information, context-awareness, invisibility, respecting user intents, and ubiquity which demarcate it from other previous network technologies. The new properties of pervasive computing make traditional security systems inefficient and often unusable for the technology. In the domain of access control as the most important part of security systems, modern frameworks and methods must be designed and implemented to meet requirements of the technology and to provide suitable security for the pervasive computing environments. In this paper, we propose an access control framework for pervasive computing environments that controls accesses in the environment based on context and user intents.
