Context-aware Access-Control for Smart-Home

"Authorize your actions in Smart Home not only using your identity but also your previous behavior and current system's environment"

Bring ABAC and Blockchain together! While ABAC stores information about users' identity and provides fine-granular access-control, blockchain can be used to as a trusted storage for event-based tracking of the system's usage. Use case - a child can't turn on the light in the living room in the night without the presence of the parent in the same room.

In this thesis an existing implementation of the ABAC for Smart-Home based on XACML will be extended and adapted to make use of blockchain and verifying access-rights based on two source of information - users' credentials and latest information in the blockchain, depending on the definition of the access policy.

Mobile Application for ABAC-enabled Smart-Home
sensor integration with ABAC
management

"Develop mobile application that enables control, monitoring and analytics in the Smart-Home secured with ABAC".

Make use of one of the existing open-source smart-home management framework to integrate a couple of sensors (light, temperature), while providing advanced features as : fine-grained access-control using existing ABAC framework and predefined sensors configuration management.

Usage and control of the system should be enabled using Web-Frontend or mobile Android application.

solution Smart-Home in COSY:Lab to develop novel mobile application and improve usability of the already integrated sensors and actuators - DHT, Philips Hue...

This thesis will have two main aspects:

  • Security - evaluation and development of mechanisms for successful access control over information during system's lifetime
  • HCI - design and development of the intuitive, easy-to-use application for Smart Home management

Testing and verification will be conducted in the COSY:Lab using existing equipment and development and verification environment.An example for the smart-home management framework : https://home-assistant.io/

Social Computing meets the Smart Environment: COSY Healthy-Living Bot

This thesis is about interaction design and prototypical implementation (NodeJS) of a Facebook Messenger Bot which facilitates healthy living. Your jobs comprise (1) the integration of different services (e.g. Fitbit API, Google API, some recipe API, .. - be creative!) as a service composition and (2) the creation of a "Bot persona" which incorporates the resulting functionality. A small user trial should then collect feedback and test for conceptual feasibility.
