The National Science Foundation awarded Northeastern University a $150,000 Project Grant under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering federal grant program (CFDA 47.070) to investigate user needs for access control systems in smart environments. The two-year award will support research to comprehensively study user demands and desires for multi-user and multi-device access controls in settings like smart homes, offices, and factories. The University will conduct dedicated user studies to understand complex and conflicting access control needs, as well as preferences for flexible and configurable designs with proper security and privacy settings. Outcomes will inform the design of safer, more secure systems for pervasive smart devices increasingly used in workplaces and industrial settings but sometimes compromised due to lack of fine-grained access controls. The research aims to facilitate transition to practice of multi-user and multi-device access control mechanisms for smart environments.
