A rhythm-based access control system for secure wellness services

Because of development of IT and emergence of new hybrid converged services, there have been increasing uses of smart device in wellness services. The wellness services on smart device use personal information to provide user-centric services considering user habits and preferences. Because personal information is so critical and have potential which unauthorized users misuse, it is a need to manage and control the authority in systems and devices for secure services. In this paper, we propose a rhythm-based access control system for secure wellness services. A role is assigned to a user by multiple users’ different rhythm in a smart device and the only predefined service based on the role can be served. In addition, the system grants access authority and provides secure wellness service through enhanced authentication using the uniqueness of user’s rhythm.
