Privacy-Aware Smart Learning: Providing XACML as a Service in Semantic Web based Smart Environment

Abstract

Smart environment when integrates with semantic web provides context-awareness to processed information. To this end, smart solutions have adopted self-learning techniques as an integral part for efficient retrieval of data. Many smart solutions are being deployed with privacy parameters but lacks with in-place privacy approach over processed information. To overcome this issue, we present a novel approach of applying XACMLaaS (XACML as a Service) in a semantic web based smart environment. The proposed framework targets fine grain access control authorization over heterogeneous data captured from smart IoT devices and sensors. This paper also highlights the prototype implementation of access control as a service with a preliminary use case scenario of smart education environment.
