Abstract

With the ever increasing shift towards pervasive computing to provide better services to the user based on the user’s context and location of the user, there is a need for the development of secure architecture for ubiquitous computing. The paper reviews few existing security architectures and then proposes web-services architecture for pervasive computing. A number of solutions have been proposed in the literature including open source protocols to implement the security in pervasive environment. However, most of the proposed architectures rely on the intermediate servers to securely transfer data and communication between end user. This might be a suitable in certain scenarios but the broad range of users is not comfortable to accept and deploy such solution. End-to-end secure communication between users is a key for the communication protocol to be considered for deployment by broad range of users. The paper presents a web services architecture for pervasive computing environment using open standards to implement a secure architecture.
