Increasing Privacy in Mobile Communication Systems using Cryptographically Protected Objects

1997
Conference Papers

Abstract

Confidential information contained in the transactional data created in mobile communication systems is not very well protected. We present an approach to protect entire objects against manipulation and disclosure, which allows to retain some control over information handed to a different entity or can be used to prevent reverse engineering of an object to obtain its original source. The approach is subsequently used in the context of mobile communication systems to protect the current location of a mobile user against unauthorized access.

Object-oriented programming

Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) is a programming paradigm based on the concept of "objects", which can contain data and code. The data is in the form of fields (often known as attributes or properties), and the code is in the form of procedures (often known as methods). A common feature of objects is that procedures (or methods) are attached to them and can access and modify the object's data fields. In this brand of OOP, there is usually a special name such as or used to refer to the current object.

Access control

In physical security and information security, access control (AC) is the selective restriction of access to a place or other resource, while access management describes the process. The act of accessing may mean consuming, entering, or using. Permission to access a resource is called authorization. Locks and login credentials are two analogous mechanisms of access control. Physical security Geographical access control may be enforced by personnel (e.g. border guard, bouncer, ticket checker), or with a device such as a turnstile.

Mobile computing

Mobile computing is human–computer interaction in which a computer is expected to be transported during normal usage and allow for transmission of data, which can include voice and video transmissions. Mobile computing involves mobile communication, mobile hardware, and mobile software. Communication issues include ad hoc networks and infrastructure networks as well as communication properties, protocols, data formats, and concrete technologies. Hardware includes mobile devices or device components.
