Abstract
New computing paradigm in ubiquitous computing environments is revolutionizing the way people interact with computers, services
and the surrounding physical spaces. However, the deployment of this computing paradigm in real-life is hindered by the lack
of proper authentication and access control techniques. In order to provide stronger authentication, MIST proposed an authentication
framework for ubiquitous computing environments and assigned confidence values to some authentication methods to facility
the combining. However, the assigned confidence values lack sufficient evidence. In this paper reliable confidence values
for each authentication method used in MIST is proposed. These confidence values can combine multiple confidence values in
some manner, producing a more accurate net confidence value. Authentication entities with confidence values allows the authentication
framework to blend nicely into ubiquitous computing environments.
This work was supported by the University IT Research Center Project funded by the Korean Ministry of Information and Communication.
