Security and Privacy in Mobile and Ubiquitous Computing

This research analyzes privacy threats and countermeasures for supporting the activities of mobile users.  Specifically, we analyze the tradeoff between privacy assurances and access to services both for cases where the users rely primarily on mobile personal devices, and where devices embedded in environments such as smart spaces are used to access user-specific persistent information.

This research investigates persona-based protocols for access control, as well as the conceptual model offered to users.
