Architecture of Context-Aware Integrated Security Management Systems for Smart Home Environment

The smart home technology is a noticeable area of study in various studies on the ubiquitous computing technology. This paper presents the security management system to provide context-aware security service. The system supports the management and enforcement of context-aware security and the management of the context of users and resources. This system provides the security service functions such as the partial credential based user authentication and context-aware access control, and the security policy management functions. In addition, the system provides the policy enforcement simulation function to test and validate the security policy. This simulator can cover all security service in the smart home environment.
