An RFID-Based Access&Location Service for Pervasive Grids

Grid computing and pervasive computing have rapidly emerged and affirmed as paradigms for high performance computing and for user-friendly computing respectively. These two separate worlds, however, can now interact each other in such a way that both pervasive and grid computing communities can benefit from integrating the two paradigms into a whole. This conjunction is already taking place to ...

22 Privacy - enhanced Location - based Access Control

Advancements in location technologies reliability and precision are fostering the development of location-based services that make use of the location information of users. An increasingly important category of such services is represented by Location-based Access Control (LBAC) systems that integrate traditional access control mechanisms with access conditions based on the physical position of...

Access Control in Location-Based Services

Recent enhancements in location technologies reliability and precision are fostering the development of a new wave of applications that make use of the location information of users. Such applications introduces new aspects of access control which should be addressed. On the one side, precise location information may play an important role and can be used to develop Location-based Access Contro...

Threshold-Based Location-Aware Access Control

Designing a secure, resilient and user-friendly access control system is a challenging task. In this article, a threshold-based location-aware access control mechanism is proposed. This design uniquely combines the concepts of secret sharing and distance bounding protocols to tackle various security vulnerabilities. The proposed solution makes use of the fact that the user carries around variou...
