【 摘 要 】

With the emergence of small devices equipped with wireless communication, several sophisticated systems for search and rescue have been proposed and developed. However, a key obstacle in a wide deployment of these systems has been users' security and privacy. On one hand, such systems need to collect as much information about a user as possible in order to locate that user in a timely manner. On the other hand, this very capability drives users away from using such a system. This paper describes work-in-progress in building a security and privacy framework for CenWits, which is a new search and rescue system for people in emergency situation in wilderness areas. The paper focuses on the role of context in building this framework.
