  • Traditional access control models like role-based access control model are insufficient in security needs in ubiquitous computing environment because they take no thought of access control based on user's context or environment condition. In these days, although researches on context-aware access control using user's context or environment conditions based on role-based access control are emerged, they are on the primary stage. We present context definitions md an access control model to provide more flexible and dynamic context-aware access control based on role-based access control. Specially, we describe the conflict problems occurred in the middle of making an access decision. After classifying the conflict problems, we show some resolutions to solve them. In conclusion, we will lay the foundations of the development of security policy and model assuring right user of right object(or resource) and application service through pre-defined context and context classification in ubiquitous computing environments. Beyond the simplicity of access to objects by authorized users, we assure that user can access to the object, resource, or service anywhere and anytime according to right context.

  • The spread of mobile devices, PDAs and sensors has enabled the construction of ubiquitous computing environments, transforming regular physical spaces into 'Smart space' augmented with intelligence and enhanced with services. However, the deployment of this computing paradigm in real-life is disturbed by poor security, particularly, the lack of proper authentication and authorization techniques. Also, it is very important not only to find security measures but also to preserve user privacy in ubiquitous computing environments. In this Paper, we propose efficient user authentication and authorization model with anonymity for the privacy-preserving for ubiquitous computing environments. Our model is suitable for distributed environments with the computational constrained devices by using MAC-based anonymous certificate and security association token instead of using Public key encryption technique. And our Proposed Protocol is better than Kerberos system in sense of cryptographic computation processing.

  • The design, development and deployment of Mobile Agent (MA) systems for high-level inference and surveillance in wireless sensor networks and RFID systems have drawn increasing attention in the past decade. To answer how the state-of-the-art of MA in a wide range of ubiquitous and sensor environments is, this paper investigates the current progress of MA. It proposes a taxonomy, by which MA systems in ubiquitous computing environments are decomposed and discussed. Then, this paper provides insights into the strengths and weaknesses of existing efforts. Finally, it presents a series of solutions from the viewpoint of various roles of MA in ubiquitous environments and situations.

  • Currently embedded system has been widespreadly used in digital Set-top box, mobile phone, USN, etc and the significance of security has been increased due to be necessarily embedded in these all system. In this paper we propose new integrity verification scheme among the main security requirements in target system based on the korea TTA standard, security reference model for embedded operating system, published in december 2006. Moreover the proposed scheme is more effective than the previous scheme, Jung, et al.[2,6].

  • Information is playing a key role in sufficing the needs of individual members of the society in today's rapidly changing environment. Especially, the cases of illegal gathering of privacy information will increase and the leakage of privacy information will grow as the individual activities in the ubiquitous computing environment. In this paper, we suggested the privacy framework in order to make design and implementation of secure and effective privacy management system. Ant we also introduced the methodology which is represent to 5 specific stages in order to suggest to the privacy system development guideline from the standpoints of the privacy system operator or developer. Especially, we tried to determine whether the suggested methodology can be effectively used in the real computing environment or not by making necessary investments in management (privacy policy) and technical (system architecture) sides. We believe that the privacy framework and methodology introduced in this research can be utilized to suggest new approach for showing direction from the privacy protection perspective, which is becoming more important in ubiquitous environments, and practical application rather than providing conceptual explanation from the views of engineer or developer.

  • At the present day, the use of containers crisscrossing seven seas and intercontinental transport has significantly increased and bringing the change on the shape of the world economy which we cannot be neglected. Additionally, with the recent technological advances in wireless sensor network (WSN) technologies, has providing an economically feasible monitoring solution to diverse application that allow us to envision the intelligent containers represent the next evolutionary development step in order to increase the efficiency, productivity, utilities, security and safe of containerized cargo shipping. This paper we present a comprehensive containerized cargo monitoring system which has adaptively embedded WSN technology into cargo logistic technology. We share the basic requirement for an autonomous logistic network that could provide optimum performance and a suite of algorithms for self-organization and bi-directional communication of a scalable large number of sensor node apply on container regardless inland and maritime transportation.

  • Two general security measures in computing networks are secure data transmission and user authentication, These problems are still critical in the wireless LAN environments. Thus security becomes most significant issue in personal network environments and ubiquitous networks based on wireless LANs. We purpose a new authentication system for these kind of environments, and coined it UPMA(Ubiquitous Personal Mutual Authen-tication) model. UPMA supports authenticating configurations which provides personal verification for each system. It guarantees secure communications through the session key setup, and provides mutual authentication by verifying each user and his/her station. UPMA solves security problems in ubiquitous networks without accessing authentication server, Instead it performs mutual authentication between terminals or between systems. It is a global authentication system which enables global roaming service through the Internet or other public networks, It can be used to guarantee safe and convenient access to a company Intranet or to a home network.

  • This study addressed security requirements for ad-hoc network environments, which lies at the hour of the ubiquitous computing revolution and proposed a partially-distributed certificate management system that can ensure security in mobile ad-hoc networks. The proposed model is characterized by ie ability to handle dynamic mobility of nodes, minimize routing load and enhance expandability of network by allowing participating nodes to authenticate each other without being interrupted by joining the cluster. The security, efficiency and robustness of the proposed model were evaluated through simulation.

  • Development of IT technology as well as arrival of information-oriented society raise the curtain of 'the era of Ubiquitous Computing', implying accessing computers beyond boundary of time and space. In this era, it is expected that IT paradigms and life-styles would be transformed immensely above the experiences of 20th century. However, improvement of technology summons a new risk of cyber terrorism which have not been in the past. Thus, it is urgent to prepare for the threats in the national level. This paper point out five major threats relating to 'the security in the era of Ubiquitous Computing'. : First, spread of threats in connection with BcN establishment, second, vulnerable information-security for wireless communication, third, leakage of private information, fourth, cyber terror and deterioration of security, fifth, security problems of Korea including the drain of military information and solutions in the views of organization, personnel, technology and budget, comparing with other countries.
