Context-aware processing is a part of intensively developed ubiquitous computing andmobile systems. Surrounding awareness is used to introduce new functions and solutions. Some categories of the context data are taken for security purposes in the context-aware security implementations.This kind of data has to meet some conditions since it is used for decision making about security mechanisms adaptation and configuration. One of these conditions is reliability. The paper presents vector approach to context data reliability assessment introducing mechanism which allows to assess reliability parameters for further usage in context aware security processing. The following aspects of the context data are taken into account: interface reliability, data quality, data source reliability and security level. Introducing reliability metric for context data may be beneficial to other mechanisms which utilize context data. The vector form of reliability may be even more flexible than the scalar value.
