【 摘 要 】

The research field of Ambient Environments and UbiquitousComputing aims toward the future vision of intelligent mobile and wirelessnetwork scenarios. In such environments where the wireless network consists ofnumerous nodes, like intelligent devices, sensors and mobile devices, a highlysecured and well defined Identity (ID) Management System is required thatdeals with issues like virtual and temporary identities of users and devices aswell as users’ awareness in information disclosure and privacy. One major goalof the EU-project HYDRA1 (“Networked Embedded System middleware forheterogeneous physical devices in a distributed architecture”) is the support ofdevelopers of such ambient environments to manage context sensitive identityinformation and assure integration and interoperability of existing IDManagement approaches. Based on this project in this paper we identify andanalyze ten requirements for a middleware architecture to create a bridgebetween existing identity management technologies and also allow a frameworkto make them available for application developers of ambient environments.
