Abstract

In ubiquitous computing environments, context information (such as user´s location, time, etc.) can have an impact on business applications and can be used to adapt the security parameters of such applications. In this paper, we are proposing a framework for enforcing security rules dependent on the current state of the environment. We define proximity-based and context aware access control, by including context information as an element of access control policies
