Abstract
Third generation city-wide distributed surveillance
systems are built upon networks of sensors, actuators and
computation nodes. In such large systems, different
groups of nodes may belong to separate parties who want
to control access to the resources provided by their
nodes. The access control mechanism must verify the
identities of nodes and check their authorization for
accessing resources. The system must also support dynamic
group reconfiguration mandated by factors such as changes
in organizational structure or confidentiality rules and
recover gracefully from security breaches. This paper
presents a mechanism based on Public Key Infrastructure
(PKI) and certificate hierarchies for fulfilling these
requirements in a secure communication platform
supporting both synchronous and asynchronous operations
in a distributed surveillance system. Dynamic
reconfiguration of groups and expulsion of compromised
parts of the system is implemented by utilizing
certificate revocation
