A Study on Security Framework for Ambient Intelligent Environment (ISyRAmISF: ISyRAmI Security Framework)

ISyRAmI (Intelligent Systems Research for Ambient Intelligence) is an Artificial Intelligence oriented methodology and architecture for the development of Ambient Intelligence (AmI) systems. The ISyRAmI architecture considers the following four modules: Data/Information/Knowledge acquisition; Data/Information/Knowledge storage, conversion, and handling; Intelligent Reasoning; and Decision Support/Intelligent Actuation. However, because there is no security module in ISyRAmI, it was analyzed as weak by attacks like DDoS, sniffing, fake server, fake context, malicious code, DNS attacks, and routing attacks etc. For example, if the attackers send their fake contexts in ISyRAmI environment, some ISyRAmI devices may reply the bad information to users, i.e., to send their contents named as spam, to get user’s information by attackers fake server, sometimes, too many attacker’s contexts may lead to server down like damage of DDoS attacks, etc. Finally, these kinds of attacks make polluted results in ISyRAmI. ISyRAmI aims to support user next steps through an instantly adaptation to the dynamic environments, to achieve that is mandatory to include a security module in the ISyRAmI methodology and architecture. In this paper, we propose a security framework to the ISyRAmI approach.
