A Security Framework for Smart Ubiquitous Industrial Resources Anton Naumenko, Artem Katasonov and Vagan Terziyan Department of Mathematical Information Technology P.O.Box 35, FIN-40014, University of Jyväskylä, Finland annaumen@cc.jyu.fi artem.katasonov@jyu.fi vagan@it.jyu.fi Abstract. Conventional approaches to manage and control security seem to have reached their limits in new complex environments. These environments are open, dynamic, heterogeneous, distributed, self-managing, collaborative, international, nomadic, and ubiquitous. We are currently working on a middleware platform focused on the industrial needs, UBIWARE. UBIWARE integrates Ubiquitous Computing with Semantic Web, Distributed AI, Security and Privacy, and Enterprise Application Integration. In this paper, we describe our long-term vision for the security and privacy management in complex multi-agent systems like UBIWARE, SURPAS. The security infrastructure has to become pervasive, interoperable and intelligent enough to naturally fit UBIWARE. SURPAS aims at policy-based optimal collecting, composing, configuring and provisioning of security measures. Particularly, we analyze the security implications of UBIWARE, present the SURPAS research framework, and the SURPAS abstract architecture. 1 Introduction Globalization of the economy, global and intercultural value chains, large-scale industrial environments, cooperative systems for the international production, logistic and marketing could hardly be imagined without the rapid evolution of information and communication technologies (ICTs). Moreover, continuous advances of ICTs and their adoption in the industrial world have been guaranteeing improvement and efficiency of industrial technologies in the last decades. Recent advances in networking, sensor and RFID technologies, etc allow connecting various physical world objects to the IT infrastructure, which could, ultimately, enable realization of the “Internet of Things” and the ubiquitous computing
