Secure Smart Environments: Security Requirements, Challenges and Experiences in Pervasive Computing

چکیده
In an ideal pervasive computing environment, a large number of connected smart devices are deployed to collaboratively provision seamless services to users. Pervasive computing is enabled by various advanced technologies, particularly wireless technologies and the Internet. It has become a trend for our future lives. A pervasive computing environment can be extremely heterogeneous. We can imagine how many different devices are involved in a smart home: TVs, phones, cameras, coffee makers, or even books and bookshelves. Since these devices are smart and communicate with each other mainly via wireless links, security must be ensured. Otherwise, the smart devices deployed around us would come back to hunt us and the result would be catastrophic. In this abstract we briefly discuss some important security issues in pervasive computing.

A semantic-aware role-based access control model for pervasive computing environments
Access control in open and dynamic Pervasive Computing Environments (PCEs) is a very complex mechanism and encompasses various new requirements. In fact, in such environments, context information should be used in access control decision process; however, it is not applicable to gather all context information completely and accurately all the time. Thus, a suitable access control model for PCEs...

The explosive evolution of pervasive computing environments presents several new challenges such as smart spaces, invisibility, localized scalability, and masking uneven conditioning. One of the key challenges in such environments is how to manage security and access control. A suitable approach for managing access control in pervasive computing environments should consider different features o...
متن کاملA context-sensitive dynamic role-based access control model for pervasive computing environments
Resources and services are accessible in pervasive computing environments from anywhere and at any time. Also, due to ever-changing nature of such environments, the identity of users is unknown. However, users must be able to access the required resources based on their contexts. These and other similar complexities necessitate dynamic and context-aware access control models for such environmen...

متن کاملA Mobile and Fog-based Computing Method to Execute Smart Device Applications in a Secure Environment
With the rapid growth of smart device and Internet of things applications, the volume of communication and data in networks have increased. Due to the network lag and massive demands, centralized and traditional cloud computing architecture are not accountable to the high users' demands and not proper for execution of delay-sensitive and real time applications. To resolve these challenges, we p...
