Abstract

Security is top priority for pervasive applications, forwhich the number of reported incidents is in constantincrease. Context-based security is an emerging approach. Itaims at coping with the security problems resulting from thehigh heterogeneity and dynamicity of such environments. Inthis paper, we propose a new model for policies specificationbased on contextual graphs. It relies on a set of contextualinformation collected from the system and user'senvironments. This approach aims at providing a convenientway for modeling security requirements in complex systems.
