Abstract

This paper examines five security problems that arebarriers to mainstream pervasive computing. Theseare: device authentication, privacy, trust management,device assurance, recourse, and availability. Thepaper argues that the trust, security, and privacyissues inherent in pervasive computing environmentspresent unique challenges that require a fundamentalre-examination of how to build large-scale,trustworthy, distributed systems.
