Abstract

This paper discusses security considerations of a ubiquitous computing environment and presents the context-aware security management system. The system supports the management and enforcement of context-aware security policies, and manages the context of users and resources in the ubiquitous computing environment. The system provides partial credential based user authentication and context aware access control service. This paper presents a calculation algorithm of an authentication credential value using fuzzy if-then rule for partial credential based user authentication.
