Abstract

The International Maritime Organization (IMO) requires a majority of cargo and passenger ships to use the Automatic Identi cation System (AIS) for navigation safety and trac control. Distributing live AIS data on the Internet can o er a global view for both operational and analytical purposes to port authorities, shipping and insurance compa- nies, cargo owners and ship captains and other stakeholders. Yet, uncon- trolled, this distribution can seriously undermine navigation safety and security and the privacy of the various stakeholders. In this paper we present ASSIST, an application system based on our recently proposed access control framework, to protect streaming data from unauthorized access. Furthermore, we have implemented ASSIST on top of StreamIn- sight, a commercial stream engine. The extensive experimental results show that our solution is e ective and ecient.
