Abstract

Traditional and widely used access control mechanisms have been proved to be not able to effectively support the dynamicity and scaling needs of IoT contexts. Furthermore, as more end-users start using smart devices (e.g. smart phones, smart home appliances, etc.) the need to have more understandable and easy to use access control mechanisms increases. In this paper we present a capability based access control system, which is being developed in a EU project harnessing IoT technologies in industrial and automation environments, showing that it can better address IoT needs and can be more easily applied to end users-centric scenarios like smart houses and e-Health.

Keywords: authorization access control capability based access control rights delegation rights revocation internet of things
