Research Field: Security and Safety in Risk-prone Environments.
Description: Data and resources managed for people safety in various risk-prone
environments is an increasingly relevant issue. In particular, when huge quantities of
data are available to monitor areas, to locate people during a crisis, or to intervene to
handle a risky event, it is important to preserve data and individual confidentiality
and privacy, while allowing dynamic adaptation of security rules (e.g., augmenting
permissions of risk management teams) to face risks and emergencies. The purpose of
this research is to design a security model, which is flexible enough to accommodate
varying security rules according to changes in the environment conditions.
