“…The use and benefits of DPWS have also been studied extensively in the context of various other applications areas, including automotive and railway systems (Venkatesh et al [15]), industrial automation (Cucinotta et al [16]), eHealth (Pöhlsen et al [17]), and wireless sensor networks (Dohndorf et al [18]). All of the above are positive indicators for the future of the technology chosen as the underlying implementation and communication mechanism for the presented framework, and its potential for ubiquitous adoption.…”

Computing devices already permeate working and living environments; a trend which affects all aspects of modern everyday lives, and one which is expected to intensify in the coming years. In the residential setting, the enhanced features and services provided by said computing devices constitute what is typically referred to as a "smart home". However, the long-promised improvement in the quality of residential life cannot be realized without overcoming some significant obstacles introduced by these technological advancements. The direct interaction smart devices often have with the physical world, along with the processing, storage and communication of data pertaining to users' lives, i.e. private sensitive in nature, bring security concerns into the limelight. The resource-constraints of the platforms being integrated into a smart home environment, and their heterogeneity in hardware, network and overlaying technologies, only exacerbate the above issues. This paper presents Cross-domain Service Access Control for devices (XSACd), a framework that combines the well-studied fine-grained access control provided by the eXtensible Access Control Markup Language (XACML) with the benefits of Service Oriented Architectures through the use of the Devices Profile for Web Services (DPWS). Based on standardized technologies, it enables seamless interaction and fine-grained policy-based management of the heterogeneous embedded devices that may be found in a smart residential setting, including support for interactions between users and devices residing on different locations and networks. The proposed framework is implemented in full and its performance is evaluated on a test bed featuring relatively resource-constrained smart platforms and embedded devices.

As cyber-physical systems (CPS) build a foundation for visions such as the Internet of Things (IoT) or Ambient Assisted Living (AAL), their communication security is crucial so they cannot be abused for invading our privacy and endangering our safety. In the past years many communication technologies have been introduced for critically resource-constrained devices such as simple sensors and actuators as found in CPS. However, many do not consider security at all or in a way that is not suitable for CPS. Also, the proposed solutions are not interoperable although this is considered a key factor for market acceptance.Instead of proposing yet another security scheme, we looked for an existing, time-proven solution that is widely accepted in a closely related domain as an interoperable security framework for resource-constrained devices. The candidate of our choice is the Web Services Security specification suite. We analysed its core concepts and isolated the parts suitable and necessary for embedded systems. In this paper we describe the methodology we developed and applied to derive the Devices Profile for Web Services Security (DPWSec). We discuss our findings by presenting the resulting architecture for message level security, authentication and authorization and the profile we developed as a subset of the original specifications. We demonstrate the feasibility of our results by discussing the proof-of-concept implementation of the developed profile and the security architecture.1 978-1-4799-8055-0/15/$31.00 ©2015 IEEE

In this paper we describe a common problem when it comes to mutual authentication of devices in smart environments. Basically, there exist two approaches. In the brokered approach, two parties authenticate with the help of a common trusted party. However, this often introduces a single point of failure. The alternative approach lets the devices authenticate with each other directly, usually by exchanging a shared secret out of band. But this is only possible if both devices have the necessary user interface peripherals to establish an out-of-band channel.We will describe an abstract basic protocol to bridge the possible peripherals' gaps by authenticating indirectly with the help of nowadays basically omnipresent multimedia devices such as smart phones. After extending the proposed protocol for more complex use cases, we refine it to a practical authenticated key establishment protocol for indirect authentication. Finally we describe our freely available prototype implementation consisting of an internet-of-things-enabled light bulb and light switch and an Android app that comprise our proof of concept.
