ABSTRACT
Emerging IT applications are increasingly embedded in environments of everyday life and run autonomously and without supervision from the user. These technologies introduce several new security concerns, both technical and organizational, including problems related to public knowledge and education, legality, privacy and acceptance. In this chapter, we define the salient features of these technologies and provide a framework for analyzing data exchanges within these systems. We then discuss security issues related to management, administration, oversight, legality, liability, acceptance, and security strategy design. We employ two research ubicomp applications to show how these issues manifest themselves.
