SAware: Sensor-based Context Awareness for Smartphone Access Control

In this paper, we proposed a sensor-based context aware-ness system for access control of smarphone, named SAware. With sensors analysis and inferring, such as Wi-Fi-based and GPS-based location,SAware system can locate the coarse locations of user holding the smartphone during identity verification or data/application access control.Based on predefined role-based access control policies, SAware grandsthe user with corresponding authorization, such as reading, writing orpriority. In order to evaluate proposed SAware system, we implementedour experiments on Android mobiles (i.e., Google Nexus 5X). Experimental results show that proposed SAware system is efficiency, security,and valuable for user access control.
