An access control mechanism for remote control of home security system

Abstract

The use of smart phones has lately grown by leaps and bounds and the role of a smart phone as a portable computer has been conspicuous. The application programs of smart phones are used in diverse areas such as business planning, banking, blogging, GPS, medical application, and home security. The diversity of such application is seen to be one of factors of the expansion of smart phone users, and to that extent, the demand of security is increasing. In particular, safety issue is more important in the control application of home security for home safety. This paper aims to control methods in the access of home security system which monitors and controls security devices, installed around houses by using smart phones. In particular, we suggest the way of dynamic delegation of authority for allowing outsiders like housekeeper to have access to the security system temporarily. © 2012 IEEE.
