Abstract
One of the most important issues for ubiquitous computing is the problem of encrypting content in the devices, as the heterogeneity in the devices nature, capabilities, mobility and necessities make it very difficult to find a solution that may be applied to all of these devices for the encryption and decryption of data. Although this is an important issue in today’s computing, there are not proposals that suit the specific needs of the ubiquitous devices regarding power consumption and computing capabilities, as well as flexibility. In this paper we show how adaptative encryption is the base for encryption of the stored data in ubiquitous environments.
