Abstract

Identify verification1 is a frequent task required before any interaction. However, every interaction requires a different identity profile and a different verification protocol. Consequently, we propose IdProF, a secure context-sensitive seamless multi-modal identity provisioning framework for Cloud-and IoT-based environments. IdProF generates a virtual user profile on demand, then creates a customized identity proxy to handle the identity verification for the required interaction. We believe, IdProF reduces the risks for identity theft/loss, as it does not depend only on unique identifiers, but it takes into consideration the dynamics of the users' behaviors as well as their access and usage patterns.
