In this paper we describe our approach on protecting user privacy in smart environments, particularly smart homes, which we call eHomes. These are environments with devices such as sensors, computational units, actors, which are seamlessly integrated in the environment, and objects we use in our everyday life. In order to provide more convenience to its users such environments can be personalized.As these environments become ubiquitous, thus supporting mobility of the users, new privacy threats arise. These are based on the digital traces and personal information which is left while visiting different environments. We provide a practical approach to minimize these traces and information disclosure by applying negotiation, identity management, and anonymous credentials. Also, we discuss the protection of eHomes from malicious users.

“…This idea of proximity-based authentication is novel, but is not general enough to cover all the authentication cases in the UC environment. In the proposed and implemented middleware architecture for smart home access [9], Main et al differentiated the assurance levels of the different authentication methods, and enforced a user's rights to be dependent on the authentication assurance levels. In [10], the problem of trust delegation among multiple portable devices belonged to the same user is investigated and a trust transfer protocol is presented.…”

In today's rapid evolution of computing and networking technologies, the user community unavoidably has to deal with the shifting computation paradigm that is characterized by highly mobile and powerful pervasive computing devices and the resulting fragmentation and distribution of data. The security underpinnings that were originally designed for the traditional consolidated data model and static access methods can no longer satisfy new challenges in this highly dynamic environment. In this paper, we focus on the critical trust management issues in the upcoming UC paradigm and propose a trust management framework based on "community of trust" concept.

“…Consequently, this technology requires gathering huge amount of personal data which raises many concerns from the consumer point of view. Therefore, a Middleware for Secure Home Access and Control [10] protects personal data and access control by only allowing the relevant stakeholders to benefit from the services. This security middleware is based on two main components one is the JCCM (Java Card Certificate Management) which moves part of the semantics of Cryptoki inside a Java Card to handle the certificate management.…”

-Recently, pervasive and ubiquitous computing evolved tremendously and has become an integral part of many fields. This is widely attributed to their efficiency in integrating with everyday components and handling tasks in a faster and better way. As a result, technologies to facilitate their development, integration and security also evolved. Middleware is an essential component in this field and recently more emphasis has been put on security middleware as an enabling component for pervasive and ubiquitous applications. This is due to the high levels of personal and private data sharing in these systems. In this paper we survey some representative security middleware approaches and highlight their various properties and characteristics. We also discuss and compare these approaches in terms of their design, target environments, and main features. The review reveals that several options are available; however, there are still many issues and problems to be addressed to achieve more efficient security middleware.
