Abstract:
Ubiquitous computing aims to integrate computer technology in man’s everyday life in various fields. To improve interactivity, it offers the user the ability to access various features and services of its environment and from any mobile lightweight autonomous device while adapting them to the user’s context. Cloud computing allowed ubiquitous systems to be more efficient at a more reduced cost. This accentuates security problems and particulary privacy preserving. The existing mechanisms and solutions are inadequate to address new challenges. In this paper, a new security architecture called Tree Based distributed Privacy Protection System is proposed. It supports protection of users private data and addresses the shortcomings of existing systems. Furthermore, it takes into account the domain dissociation property, in order to achieve decentralized data protection.
