User Controllable Security & Privacy

CURRENT APPLICATIONS

  • People Finder Application: Users are equipped with smartphones that track their location. They interact with their devices to inquire about the locations of others (e.g., colleagues, friends, spouses) subject to privacy policies. Check out Locaccino, the latest of our location-sharing applications – available on Facebook.
  • Access Control to Resources: Smartphones act as the token by which users access both physical and digital resources. Users interact with their smartphones to create and manage their security policies, and (via the smartphones) with each other to obtain credentials to access different resources.
  • Contextual Instant Messaging: Users can inquire about each other’s context (e.g. interruptability, location and current task) through an instant messaging service
