The smart spaces built on the ubiquitous network make the services available for every entity in a seamless way using the most suitable resource provider. However, all services are not equally sensitive; hence do not require the same levels of security. In this paper, the authors propose an adaptive security scheme which handles service requests originating from heterogeneous contexts and belonging to different trust levels. The adaptive security scheme includes user classification, situational analysis and dynamic generation of appropriate security policies. The proposed security scheme can be made use to secure application built on the Ubiquitous Computing Environment (UCE) such as health care, smart office, smart ubiquitous home, etc.
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.
