Context-Based Constraints in Security: Motivations and First Approach

Recent research in security shows a real need for contextual information in building highly adaptive security systems. The need for such security for web services is fast becoming imperative. In this paper, we review the main contributions in this domain. Based, on this study we present a glimpse at the CoDiS project; a generic layer for the rapid prototyping of context-based security systems, aiming at getting around the limitations of existing systems.
