A Safe Delegation Method for Web Services in Pervasive Computing Environments
نویسندگان
چکیده
Web Services are the new building block of today’s Internet, and provides interoperability among heterogeneous distributed systems. In this environment, security is one of the most critical issues. An attacker may expose user privacy and service information without authentication. Furthermore, in the pervasive computing environment, the users of web services must temporarily delegate some or all of their rights to an agent to perform actions on their behalf. This results in the exposure of user’s privacy information by agents. We present a delegation model to support secure web services in pervasive computing environments. In order to support privacy protection, service confidentiality, and assertion integrity, encryption and a digital signature mechanism is deployed. We build web service management server based on XACML, in order to manage services and policies of web service providers. SAML is extended, in order to declare delegation assertions transferred to web service providers, by delegation among agents.

A 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 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...
متن کاملEfficient Semantic Service Discovery in Pervasive Computing Environments
Service-oriented architectures, and notably Web Services, are becoming an incontrovertible paradigm for the development of applications in pervasive computing environments, as they enable publishing and consuming heterogeneous networked software and hardware resources. Combined with Semantic Web technologies, in particular ontologies, Web services’ descriptions can be unambiguously and automati...
متن کاملComposing software services in the pervasive computing environment: Languages or APIs?
The pervasive computing environment will be composed of heterogeneous services. In this work, we have explored how a domain specific language for service composition can be implemented to capture the common design patterns for service composition, yet still retain a comparable performance to other systems written in mainstream languages such as Java. In particular, we have proposed the use of t...
