چکیده

In emerging ubiquitous computing, related nomadic users often perform similar tasks and share the same computing infrastructure. This means that security of the shared resources is of prime importance. Frequent delegation of tasks among users must be anticipated as most nomadic environments are hectic and very dynamic. A delegation mechanism with a slightly complicated user interface will not only reduce the productivity but also provide nomadic users with a strong motivation to circumvent the mechanism itself. Delegation in access control domain is not practical for the most of nomadic users due to its complicated and complex structure. Identity delegation at authentication level provides improved usability, which reduces the risk of circumventing the delegation mechanism; at the same time, however, identity delegation violates the principle of least privileges. We use contextual information of a delegatee to mitigate this violation, which helps to achieve a higher level of practical security in nomadic environments.

Trust Management Model and Architecture for Context-Aware Service Platforms

The entities participating in a context-aware service platform need to establish and manage trust relationships in order to assert different trust aspects including identity provisioning, privacy enforcement, and context information provisioning. Current trust management models address these trust aspects individually when in fact they are dependent on each other. In this paper we identify and ...

A Distributed Context-Aware Trust Management Architecture1

The realization of a pervasive context-aware service platform imposes new challenges for the security and privacy aspects of the system in relation to traditional service platforms. One important aspect is related with the management of trust relationships, which is especially hard in a pervasive environment because users are supposed to interact with entities unknown before hand in an ad-hoc a...

In context-aware systems, there is a high demand on providing privacy solutions to users when they are interacting and exchanging personal information. Privacy in this context encompasses reasoning about trust and risk involved in interactions between users. Trust, therefore, controls the amount of information that can be revealed, and risk analysis allows us to evaluate the expected benefit th...

Trust and privacy management support for context-aware service platforms

In a context-aware service platform, service providers adapt their services to the current situation of the service users using context information retrieved from context information providers. In such a service provisioning platform, important trust and privacy issues arise, because different entities responsible for different tasks have to collaborate in the provisioning of the services. Cont...

Context-Aware Recommender Systems: A Review of the Structure Research

 Recommender systems are a branch of retrieval systems and information matching, which through identifying the interests and requires of the user, help the users achieve the desired information or service through a massive selection of choices. In recent years, the recommender systems apply describing information in the terms of the user, such as location, time, and task, in order to produce re...
