Abstract: Million of wireless device users are ever on the move, becoming more dependent on their PDAs, smart phones, and other handheld devices. With the advancement of pervasive computing, new and unique capabilities are available to aid mobile societies. The wireless nature of these devices has fostered a new era of mobility. Thousands of pervasive devices are able to arbitrarily join and leave a network, creating a nomadic environment known as a pervasive ad hoc network. However, mobile devices have vulnerabilities, and some are proving to be challenging. Security in pervasive computing is the most critical challenge. Security is needed to ensure exact and accurate confidentiality, integrity, authentication, and access control, to name a few. Security for mobile devices, though still in its infancy, has drawn the attention of various researchers. As pervasive devices become incorporated in our day-to-day lives, security will increasingly becoming a common concern for all users - - though for most it will be an afterthought, like many other computing functions. The usability and expansion of pervasive computing applications depends greatly on the security and reliability provided by the applications. At this critical juncture, security research is growing. This paper examines the recent trends and forward thinking investigation in several fields of security, along with a brief history of previous accomplishments in the corresponding areas. Some open issues have been discussed for further investigation.

End-User perception towards pervasive cardiac healthcare services: Benefits, acceptance, adoption, risks, security, privacy and trust
Anandhi Vivek Dhukaram,Chris Baber,Lamia Elloumi,Bert-Jan van Beijnum,Paolo De Stefanis +4 more
- 23 May 2011
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined patient and caregiver's perception regarding pervasive healthcare technology using five focus groups and a 31-item questionnaire, which was completed as part of the European Union BRAVEHEALTH project, aimed at the support of cardiac patients in everyday life using in vivo monitoring and diagnosis, thereby enabling the patient to be more proactive in heath management.

Establishing trust in pure ad-hoc networks
Asad Amir Pirzada,Chris McDonald +1 more
- 01 Jan 2004
TL;DR: This paper presents a model for trust-based communication in ad-hoc networks that also demonstrates that a central trust authority is a superfluous requirement and introduces the notion of belief and provides a dynamic measure of reliability and trustworthiness in an ad hoc network.
A security model for Aglets
TL;DR: A security model for the Aglets development environment that supports flexible architectural definition of security policies is described, which is based on the model developed at IBM's Tokyo Research Laboratory.

Threshold and identity-based key management and authentication for wireless ad hoc networks
Hongmei Deng,A. Mukherjee,Dharma P. Agrawal +2 more
- 05 Apr 2004
TL;DR: This paper proposes a distributed key management and authentication approach by deploying the recently developed concepts of identity-based cryptography and threshold secret sharing, which effectively solves the problem of single point of failure in the traditional public key infrastructure (PKI)-supported system.
