OpenUAT Description

Toolkit for authentication in ubiquitous computing systems OpenUAT (Open Source Ubiquitous Authentication Toolkit) is a toolkit for authentication in ubiquitous computing systems. OpenUAT provides combinations of cryptographic primitives and techniques with methods from sensor data analysis to create new authentication methods for ubiquitous computing.Context authentication, sometimes also called context-based authentication, means that users and/or devices are authenticated based on context. It is a young and still small, but active research area and currently my main research interest. The term context, as used in pervasive/ubiquitious computing research, describes the situation or environment in which some action takes place.Context authentication verifies that a user and a device or multiple devices share a common part of their context, e.g. that they are at the same location, that they are carried by the same user, or that the experience the same audio scene. Sharing context in this sense can be used for efficient and intuitive authentication protocols, from explicit authentication (where the user explicitly needs to perform some interaction to authenticate) to implicit authentication (where just being in a certain context entails authentication). There are very few projects out there that use a very specific aspect of context for authentication, but most of them still use it explicitly.Some of the features depend on JNI wrappers, e.g. access to serial ports, Bluetooth, or IPSec configuration, and are therefore dependent on the platform and OS. Best supported are Mac OS X, Linux, and Windows (>= XP SP2). Requirements: · Java 1.2 or later · Ant 1.6 or later What's New in This Release: · support for audio, video, manual text, · synchronized button press channels
