Scenarios

The SERENITY approach will be evaluated by exposing it to a set of industrial case studies emerging from a number of reference scenario domains. These scenarios have been chosen for the characteristics and complexity of the communication and information infrastructures the SERENITY framework is expected to manage. The scenario domains and their respective case studies are each provided by a particular industrial partner and carefully selected. They are all provided and driven by the major industrial partners and address their current products, solutions, and services in the AmI, service orientation, and mobility and ubiquity area. The SERENITY framework is intended to be used to provide security solutions in these products, solutions, and services, and thus guarantee the feasibility and exploitation of the approach.

Communications scenario

Future communication networks and infrastructure will accommodate many competing and complementing wireless access technologies based on licensed and unlicensed radio bands. They have to support nomadic user scenarios, ad hoc connectivity and high mobility with dynamic QoS and payment models. End-to-end connectivity will be reached either through operator or private networks or local connectivity or any dynamic combination of these. This will also form the basis for direct peer-to-peer communication modes. The heterogeneity, dynamicity, and flexibility of these networks raise major challenges with respect to identification and authentication of peers and the provision of trust and privacy.
Scenario : game application
Security challenges :

• To avoid playing with unwanted identities
• To avoid any interference from application to device, and vice & versa
• To protect the exchanged data
