Distributed Multi level Security token based Authentication for Ubiquitous Objects-DMSA

Ubiquitous computing technology provides an environment where users expect to access resources and services anytime and anywhere. The serious security risks and problems arise because resources can now be accessed by almost anyone with a mobile device in such an open model. This paper explores security in ubiquitous computing with focus on authentication. We propose a new model, which uses distributed hierarchical tree based approach for authenticating ubiquitous objects which overcomes the problems associated with centralized source of information.
