Algorithms and Architectures for Parallel Processing

Abstract

Smart cities and smart mobility represent two of the most significative real use case scenarios in which there is an increasing demand for collecting, elaborating, and storing large amounts of heterogenous data. In urban and mobility scenarios issues like data trustiness and data and network security are of paramount importance when considering smart mobility services like real-time traffic status, events reporting, fleets management, smart parking, etc. In this architectural paper, we present the main issues related to trustiness and security in the S2-Move project in which the contribution is to design and implement a complete architecture for providing soft real-time information exchange among citizens, public administrations and transportation systems. In this work, we first describe the S2-Move architecture, all the actors involved in the urban scenario, the communication among devices and the core platform, and a set of mobility services that will be used as a proof of the potentialities of the proposed approach. Then, considering both architecture and the considered mobility services, we discuss the main issues related to trustiness and security we should taken into account in the design of a secure and trusted S2-Move architecture. © Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2013.
