Abstract: In internet of things (IoT), the context awareness in resolving the access control aids to finer resolution in deciding whether to grant access or not. In this paper, our focus is on the context aware access control for IoT devices, specifically on decentralised access control mechanism. We are taking the smart home as a use case for this application. However, the mechanism to implement a context aware access control requires the information about the context of the subjects in such an application. This information can best be shared using the ontologies. Motivated by the same, we propose here an ontology for decentralised context aware access control for smart home. To the best of our knowledge, this is a unique attempt to propose the design of an ontology for decentralised context-aware access control in the loT. We validate our proposed design by simulation using Protege.
