Abstract

In pervasive environments, the connected devices can be aware the status of users and provide the information to users automatically in anytime, anywhere. However these require more security technologies to protect private information. The users must temporarily delegate some or all of their rights to agents in order to perform actions on their behalf. This results in the exposure of user privacy information by agents. We propose a delegation model for providing safety and user privacy in pervasive computing environments. In order to provide safety and user privacy, XML-based encryption and a digital signature mechanism needs to be efficiently integrated. In this paper, we propose access control mechanism based on eXtensible Access Control Markup Language (XACML) in order to manage the services and policies. We also extend SAML, in order to declare delegation assertions transferred to service providers by delegation among agents.
