Course Descriptions

This light seminar will provide participants with a general understanding of the authentication and authorization problems and solutions in dynamic information sharing. Topics to be discussed include access control, trust management, dynamic coalition, identity management, computational trust models in distributed environments such as Peer-to-Peer (P2P) networks and ubiquitous computing environments.

We will be meeting weekly to discuss research papers. Presentation assignments will be given in our first class on Jan. 22nd.

Topics and papers:

• Flexible information sharing in mission-critical environments:
  1. JASON Report (2004)
  2. Fuzzy MLS (IEEE Security & Privacy 2007)
  3. Mission-based sharing (SACMAT 2006)
• Collaboration and trust management in open systems:
  1. Grid computing trust inference (Journal of Grid Computing 2005)
  2. History-Based Access Control (CCS 2005)
  3. PeerTrust (IEEE TKDE 2004)
  4. Trust management in ubiquitous Computing (SACMT 2006)
  5. Mediator-free Collaboration (CCS 2005)
• Authentication and consumer privacy:
  1. Usability study on website authentication (IEEE Security & Privacy 2007)
  2. Fourth-factor authentication (CCS 2006)
  3. Location Privacy (MobiSys '07)
