Splendor: A Secure, Private, and Location-Aware Service Discovery Protocol Supporting Mobile Services

In pervasive computing environments, powerful handheld devices with wireless connections create opportunities for many new nomadic applications. We propose a new service discovery model, called Splendor, supporting nomadic users and services in public environments. Splendor emphasizes security and supports privacy. Location awareness is integrated for location dependent services discovery and is used to lessen service discovery network infrastructure requirements. We analyze the Splendor system performance and provide our experimental results.
