Abstract

In this paper we will describe how we model personal data in smart environments, which are user adaptive systems. Personal services in such smart environments can access user data by a consistent interface of our user modelling system. Considering inter-home mobility (i.e. users moving across multiple smart environments), the user model is flexible in the sense that it can dynamically deal with users entering or leaving a smart environment. Applying anonymous credentials and pseudonymity in combination with role-based access control, we can protect the privacy of users while protecting the environments against malicious users.
