Challenges and architectural approaches for authenticating mobile users
João Pedro Sousa · 2008
This paper casts an architectural eye at existing work on security and privacy in mobile computing. Specifically, it focuses on authentication as it leads up to access control from two points of view: servicer providers granting access to users, and users granting access to service providers. The paper identifies three classes of problems addressed by existing work. Then, it teases out architectural patterns being used to address those problems, their assumptions, properties, and remaining challenges.
