Access Rights Management based on User Profile Ontology for IoT Resources Authorization in Smart Home

Abstract

© 2018 SERSC Australia. Recent development in information and communication technologies has paved the way for IoT. Connected things are getting popular and transforming industries, manufacturing, health care, education, security, business and life style everywhere. In this paper, we present the access rights management scheme based on user profile ontology to facilitate access management in our existing semantic indoor IoT system. The proposed scheme supports multi-user access with assigned rights and roles. Additional, we develop the access rights management module based on user profile ontology in order to effectively organize and manage access to the system resources i.e. sensor and actuators. This work can be instrumental in provisioning safeguard against security vulnerabilities as only authorized user can have access to designated resources.
