Abstract
While pervasive computing provides a potentially vast business opportunity for many industry participants it also carries challenges along with it In this paper a passportbased architecture has been proposed to convert this unpredictable highly dynamic pervasive environment into a trusted business platform It utilizes the widely accepted passport concept here named MobiPass to evaluate and classify the potential mobile entities into a trustworthy form It allows finegrained access control without necessarily having had prior interaction with or knowledge of other parties and environments by setting customized rules against a MobiPolicy A detailed case study has been introduced to demonstrate how the MobiPass architecture can help customers and retailers to build a strong trusted connection and how the shopping experience can be enriched and efficiency improved
