Multiple personal security domains

Mobility, usability and security are major requirements for any Ad Hoc network systems, and there have been numerous papers in regards to them. However, often these requirements are addressed separately. For a valid solution, these requirements must be considered from an integrated view. In this paper, taking into account mobility and usability, we implement a framework which allows to securely share resources and services between devices in Ad-hoc networks, based on security policies defined by the owners of those devices. In addition, we extend our framework to support inter-domain sharing of services and resources. We detail our design, present the preliminary results of our prototype, and discuss the lessons learned, in particular how user experience led to several re-designs of the initial security solution.
