Trusted and secure clustering in mobile pervasive environment

A Secure Pervasive Environment

This paper explores the complications encountered when attempting to create a secure pervasive computing environment. The model introduced in this paper is primarily conceptual. The chosen environment is built around a shared space containing a classified network. Since access to the classified network is only available to people once they are in this space, we investigate what is required to e...

A Mobile and Fog-based Computing Method to Execute Smart Device Applications in a Secure Environment

With the rapid growth of smart device and Internet of things applications, the volume of communication and data in networks have increased. Due to the network lag and massive demands, centralized and traditional cloud computing architecture are not accountable to the high users' demands and not proper for execution of delay-sensitive and real time applications. To resolve these challenges, we p...

Enabling Secure Discovery in a Pervasive Environment

The pervasive computing paradigm assumes an essentially dynamic model of interaction between devices that also motivates the need to discover the services offered by previously unknown parties at an early phase of these interactions. Whereas this assumption is at the heart of many pervasive computing protocols and systems, the necessity of securing service discovery and the complexity of this t...

Secure outsourcing of IT services in a non-trusted environment

This thesis considers the possibilities of secure outsourcing of databases and of content-based routing operations to an untrusted service provider. We explore the limits of the security that is achievable in these scenarios. When discussing security, we refer to the state of the art definitions from cryptography and complexity theory. The key contributions of the thesis are the following: We e...
