Abstract:
A system in ubiquitous computing consists of a large amount of heterogeneous users and devices that communicate with each other. Users in this dynamic field communicate with lightweight and autonomous devices, which accentuate security problems and make them more complex. The existing mechanisms and solutions are inadequate to address new challenges mainly for problems of authentication and protection of privacy. 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 systems like GAIA, OpenID and User-directed Privacy Protection (UPP). Furthermore, it takes into account the domain dissociation property, in order to achieve decentralized data protection.
