Instructions

Reading digital theses in the closed network of the Aalto University Harald Herlin Learning Centre

In the closed network of Learning Centre you can read digital and digitized theses not available in the open network.

The Learning Centre contact details and opening hours: https://learningcentre.aalto.fi/en/harald-herlin-learning-centre/

You can read theses on the Learning Centre customer computers, which are available on all floors.

Logging on to the customer computers

  • Aalto University staff members log on to the customer computer using the Aalto username and password.
  • Other customers log on using a shared username and password.

Opening a thesis

  • On the desktop of the customer computers, you will find an icon titled:

    Aalto Thesis Database

  • Click on the icon to search for and open the thesis you are looking for from Aaltodoc database. You can find the thesis file by clicking the link on the OEV or OEVS field.

Reading the thesis

  • You can either print the thesis or read it on the customer computer screen.
  • You cannot save the thesis file on a flash drive or email it.
  • You cannot copy text or images from the file.
  • You cannot edit the file.

Printing the thesis

  • You can print the thesis for your personal study or research use.
  • Aalto University students and staff members may print black-and-white prints on the PrintingPoint devices when using the computer with personal Aalto username and password. Color printing is possible using the printer u90203-psc3, which is located near the customer service. Color printing is subject to a charge to Aalto University students and staff members.
  • Other customers can use the printer u90203-psc3. All printing is subject to a charge to non-University members.

Abstract (eng): Building Automation and Control Systems (BACS) are being deployed in commercial buildings to enable monitoring and control of the various intelligent systems like HVAC, safety, access and lighting systems.
Lighting is an integral part of BACS, allowing for optimized lighting operation where Lighting devices interact with each other, with users, and with other third party systems such as energy management.

A key need when interacting is the controlled and trustworthy access to services so that only authenticated and authorized entities can have access and control to the services provided by a device.
However, secure authentication and authorization is not easy due to the large-scale nature of future BACS comprising many resource-constrained sensors and actuators distributed in the building.

The thesis presents centralized and distributed access control architecture designs for BACS based on their requirements and constraints.
We further present a hybrid version of an access control architecture which improves existing centralized or distributed access control methods.
The hybrid version allows for the deployment of re-encoded access control policies to the accessed devices under request.
Re-encoding serves the purpose of efficient storage and evaluation of the policies in the resource constrained devices.

The proposed access control systems can be applied to generic BACS and run on top of communication protocols such as ZigBee or 6LoWPAN/CoAP.
We have further implemented a prototype to prove the concept on actual field devices used by Philips Lighting.
The operating system used by devices is Contiki-OS.
The final system requires 10KBs of FLASH and allows caching of access control policies in the device.

The access control system can be used in applications scenarios related to the Internet of Things.
