Abstract Ubiquitous computing is poised to revolutionize the way we compute and interact with each other. However, unless privacy concerns are taken into account early in the design process, we will end up creating a very effective distributed surveillance system, which would be a dream come true for electronic stalkers and “big brothers.” We present a protocol, which preserves the privacy of users and keeps their communication anonymous. In effect, we create a “mist” that conceals users from the system and other users. Yet, users will still be able to enjoy seamless interaction with services and other entities that wander within the ubiquitous computing environment.

متن کاملPrivacy Preserving Collaborative Filtering using Biclustering in Ubiquitous Computing Environments
Privacy concerns are a major hurdle in the success of personalized services in ubiquitous computing environments. Personalized recommendations are usually served using Collaborative Filtering techniques. In this paper, we propose a framework for privacy preserving collaborative filtering in ubiquitous computing environments. The proposed framework is based on a biclustering algorithm which empl...

متن کاملSCN-SI-021 achieving privacy and access control in pervasive computing environments
This paper focuses on the inherent trade-off between privacy and access control in Pervasive Computing Environments (PCEs). On one hand, service providers require user authentication and authorization for the provision of a service, while at the same time end users require untraceability and unlinkability for their transactions. There are also cases where the anonymity of a specific credential ...
