@conference {109.TaMaFe09, title = {Negotiation of Security Services: a Multi-criteria Decision Approach}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the 4th Workshop on Embedded Systems Security}, year = {2009}, month = {October}, address = {Grenoble, France}, abstract = {Presently, one of the most important challenges in securing communications between resource-constrained mobile systems is the optimization of the trade-off between energy and performance of security services. Any adopted security solution should be able to negotiate the best security services in a dynamic and energy efficient way. In this paper, we propose an energy-aware adaptive protocol to negotiate security settings for communications. The protocol is based on a multi-criteria selection mechanism which provides the most profitable services related to nodes requirements and available resources.}, keywords = {analytic hierarchy process (AHP), multi-criteria decision, security, security service selection}, doi = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1145/1631716.1631720}, author = {Taddeo, Antonio Vincenzo and Marcon, Pierpaolo and Ferrante, Alberto} }
