The ubiquitous computing and context-aware applications experience at the present time a very important development. This has led organizations to open more of their information systems, making them available anywhere, at any time and integrating the dimension of mobile users. This cannot be done without taking into account thoughtfully the access security: a pervasive information system must henceforth be able to take into account the contextual features to ensure a robust access control. In this paper, access control and a few existing mechanisms have been exposed. It is intended to show the importance of taking into account context during a request for access. In this regard, our proposal incorporates the concept of trust to establish a trust relationship according to three contextual constraints (location, social situation and time) in order to decide to grant or deny the access request of a user to a service.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
