Abstract

In ubiquitous environments migratory interactive applications allow users to perform their tasks continuously across various devices. Users can push and pull migratory Web applications from one device to another for various reasons. However, the flexibility of such pervasive applications raises various security issues, such as the risk of theft of private information from the migrated user interfaces or the intrusion of malicious versions of the applications replacing the original ones. In this paper, we analyse such risks and present a number of solutions to address them in a client/server-based solution for supporting secure migration of interactive Web applications.

Virtualization Sparks Security Concerns

Virtualization is becoming increasingly popular because it helps organizations optimize their hardware utilization. However, the technology has raised numerous security concerns.
Migratory Interactive Applications for Ubiquitous Environments
Engineering JavaScript state persistence of web applications migrating across multiple devices
EICS '11: Proceedings of the 3rd ACM SIGCHI symposium on Engineering interactive computing systems

Ubiquitous environments call for user interfaces able to migrate across various types of devices while preserving task continuity. One fundamental issue in migratory user interfaces is how to preserve the state while moving from one device to another. ...
