Paper Abstract:
|
With the evolution of the mobile platform and the rapid adoption of mobile devices such as cell phones and other
handheld devices, social networks have migrated onto the mobile platform. In decentralized mobile social network
applications users may have dynamically changing requirements for the way in which they want to share their
information. In such situations, access control policies cannot be defined based on the identity or role of another person
as in traditional access control solutions, or be specified before the time. Access control policies may require continuous
adjustments to adapt to the current situation.To date access control in decentralized mobile social networks has not
received much attention. The paper introduces a context-aware trust-based social access control mechanism, inspired by
trust-based access control, for securely sharing information in decentralized mobile social networks. The access control
mechanism takes advantage of both the capabilities of the Semantic Web and mobile ad-hoc networks, which are suitable
to solve the problems of creation, distribution and discovery of information in decentralized mobile social networks. |
