| dc.description.abstract | Permissions are highly sensitive in Internet-of-Things (IoT) applications, as IoT devices collect our personal data and control the safety of our environment. Rather than simply granting permissions, further constraints shall be imposed on permission usage so as to realize the Principle of Least Privilege. Since IoT devices are physically embedded, they are often accessed in a particular sequence based on their relative physical positions. Monitoring if such sequencing constraints are honoured when IoT devices are accessed provides a means to fence off malicious accesses. This thesis proposes a history-based capability system, HCAP, for enforcing permission sequencing constraints in a distributed authorization environment. It formally establishes the security guarantees of HCAP, and empirically evaluates its performance. | en_US |
