Abstract

The great enthusiasm which accompanies the wideadoption of handled devices and remote services isvery often attenuated by the number and frequency ofsecurity problems encountered by users and servicesproviders. The ubiquitous (pervasive) nature of suchapplications has brought new security vulnerabilities.Security in pervasive computing is thus, still a hottopic.Context-based security is an emerging approach formodeling adaptive security solutions based on thesituation of use of the system. Our contribution aims atpresenting a new model for specifying context-basedsecurity policies. This approach is based on contextualgraphs and relies on a set of contextual informationcollected from the system and user's environments.
