Abstract :
This work describes the appropriateness of the application of color sensor and mobile devices for the design and development of secure personal identification systems in pervasive environments. The system proposes to use a color sequence as unique identification. The sequence will be properly encrypted along with user personal information in a structure called IDCKey and stored on a mobile device. The management and use of the IDCKeys is carried out by an application installed on the device that is the responsible for decrypting and displaying the color sequence. The sequence will be read and interpreted by real color sensor connected to any kind of object in a pervasive scenario. Data structure of IDCKeys, encryption type, processing and application of the system are described.
