Devices supporting nomadic applications are assumed to be able to take advantage of the capabilities of surrounding devices. This paper discusses the access control requirements of such ad-hoc federations of communicating devices, some of which may be administered by a different authority, and illustrates how such scenarios would be handled in the Web Services Security and the framework proposed in the WiTness project. The adaptation of the WiTness flexible attribute certificate infrastructure as tokens for the Web Services Security specifications suite is finally discussed as an option to support scenarios where a full-time attachment to a global network is impossible.
