A usable interface for location-based access control and Over-The-Air Keying in tactical environments

This paper presents a usable graphical interface for specifying and automatically enacting access control rules for applications that involve dissemination of data among mobile tactical devices. A specific motivating example is unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), where the mission planner or operator needs to control the conditions under which specific receivers can access the UAV´s video feed. We implemented a prototype of this user interface as a plug-in for FalconView, a popular mission planning application.
