Controlling Access to Location-Based Services in Vehicular Mobile Pervasive Environments

Management of access control to location-based services in vehicular mobile pervasive environments presents several new challenges such as invisibility, localized scalability and privacy. To our knowledge, merging location-based services in pervasive environments with vehicular mobile environments is still in its infancy. To this end, we present a descriptive architecture for controlling access to services. Based on a comparative analysis of different access control models, we devised a new set of access control requirements for such environments and show their integration in the proposed architecture.
