Abstract
Having considered adaptation and usability as two major challenges for security in pervasive computing, this paper presents an architecture and protocol to address the associated challenges. The major challenges specified are resource modeling, context-awareness, adaptive control and dynamic interaction. With an operation-centric approach, a dual-controller architecture is presented and a coordination protocol specified.
