Requirements and Concepts for Information Assurance and Pervasive Adaptation Co-design

This paper builds on the authors' work on security challenges in the more general pervasive domain and considers what demands the adaptive paradigm will make of the information assurance community, and conversely, what information-assurance concerns should inform the realisation of pervasive adaptation. We propose a set of concepts which would enable these concerns to be addressed should they be adopted within the pervasive adaptation community. Our purpose is to begin a consultation and debate within the community to understand what may or may not be reasonable and what else might be possible..
