Abstract
In some embodiments, a security device comprises a context information intake device, a sensor, and a controller. The controller is configured to activate the context information intake device when the sensor detects an activation event initiated by an object such that the context information intake device records context information associated with the object; and perform a context-aware cryptographic process to cryptographically authenticate the object using attribute-based access control based on the recorded context information associated with the object.
Claims18
A security device, comprising:
- a context information intake device;
- a sensor;
- and
- a controller configured to:
- activate the context information intake device when the sensor detects an activation event initiated by an object such that the context information intake device records context information associated with the object;
- and
- perform a context-aware cryptographic process to cryptographically authenticate the object using attribute-based access control based on the recorded context information associated with the object;
- wherein the attribute-based access control comprises an attribute based signcryption scheme;
- wherein the context information is used as a factor in generating the attribute based signcryption scheme.
A method for controlling a security device, the method comprising
- detecting, by a sensor, an activation event initiated by an object;
- activating a context information intake device when the sensor detects the activation event;
- recording, by the activated context information intake device, context information associated with the object;
- and
- performing a context-aware cryptographic process to cryptographically authenticate the object using attribute-based access control based on the recorded context information associated with the object;
- wherein the attribute-based access control comprises an attribute based signcryption scheme;
- wherein the context information is used as a factor in generating the attribute based signcryption scheme.
