Ambient assisted living is a new interdisciplinary field aiming at supporting senior citizens in their home by means of embedded technologies. This domain offer an interesting challenge for providing dependability and security in a privacy-respecting way: in order to provide services in an emergency we cannot monitor on a second-by-second base a senior citizen. Beside being immoral, it would be illegal (at least in Europe). At the same time if we don't get notified of an emergency the entire system would be useless. In this paper we present an access control model, the security architecture and the running implementation for ambient assisted living in smart-home. The model is based on the notion of organizational model in order to implement the notion of "no purpose, no data" behind data access. The detail of our prototype is presented in the video.

Abstract
Ambient assisted living is a new interdisciplinary field aiming at supporting senior citizens in their home by means of embedded technologies. This domain offer an interesting challenge for providing dependability and security in a privacy-respecting way: in order to provide services in an emergency we cannot monitor on a second-by-second base a senior citizen. Beside being immoral, it would be illegal (at least in Europe). At the same time if we don't get notified of an emergency the entire system would be useless. In this paper we present an access control model, the security architecture and the running implementation for ambient assisted living in smart-home. The model is based on the notion of organizational model in order to implement the notion of "no purpose, no data" behind data access. The detail of our prototype is presented in the video.
