- Abstract
Rich, context-aware applications are emerging for mobile computing environments that provide new and innovative services to consumers. Security is critical for the successful realization of this vision. We propose a new method for authentication that utilizes contextual information to overcome the limitations inherent in traditional approaches. We have defined a model that uses contextual attributes to achieve an approach to authentication that is better suited for dynamic, mobile computing environments. We examine the use of trusted platforms to provide assurances for these contextual attributes. Our model promotes the adoption of many revolutionary mobile applications by providing a seamless and flexible user experience that can protect privacy and reduce administrative overhead.
