Securing context-aware applications using environment roles
Abstract
In the future, a largely invisible and ubiquitous computing infrastructure \nwill assist people with a variety of activities in the home and at work. \nThe applications that will be deployed in such systems will create and \nmanipulate private information and will provide access to a variety of other \nresources. Securing such applications is challenging for a number of \nreasons. Unlike traditional systems where access control has been explored, \naccess decisions may depend on the context in which requests are made. We \nshow how the well-developed notion of roles can be used to capture \nsecurity-relevant context of the environment in which access requests are \nmade. By introducing environment roles, we create a uniform access control \nframework that can be used to secure context-aware applications. We also \npresent a security architecture that supports security policies that make \nuse of environment roles to control access to resources.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
