Taking Ownership of Computational Resources

Today users are faced with a, wide variety of access methods to computational resources. These methods may include the use of different devices. In this paper we present a a new type of devices, called eGo (ego: latin root expressing “me”), capable of providing a uniform, flexible and secure way to access such services. Furthermore, these devices allows users to take ownership of services and other devices in a natural and transparent way: by touching them.
