Abstract
An approach is provided for selecting a security policy. A security policy manager determines, at a device, context information associated with a place. The security policy manager then determines a safety score associated with the place based, at least in part, on the context information and selects a security policy for the device based, at least in part, on the safety score.
Claims20
A method comprising facilitating a processing of and/or processing (1) data and/or (2) information and/or (3) at least one signal, the processing of and/or processing the (1) data and/or (2) information and/or (3) at least one signal based, at least in part, on the following:
- context information determined at a device, wherein the context information relates, at least in part, to content acquired at a place, one or more other devices within proximity of the place, or a combination thereof;
- at least one determination of a familiarity based, at least in part, on the context information;
- at least one determination of a safety score based, at least in part, on the context information;
- and
- at least one selection of a security policy based, at least in part, on the safety score,
- wherein the context information includes one or more parameters, and wherein the familiarity is augmented with a trustworthiness weight value associated with the one or more parameters.
An apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory including computer program code for one or more programs,
- the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform at least the following,
- determine context information at a device, wherein the context information relates, at least in part, to content acquired at a place, one or more other devices within proximity of the place, or a combination thereof;
- determine a familiarity based, at least in part, on the context information;
- determine a safety score based, at least in part, on the context information;
- and
- select a security policy based, at least in part, on the safety score,
- wherein the context information includes one or more parameters, and wherein the familiarity is augmented with a trustworthiness weight value associated with the one or more parameters.
