PRIVACY AND SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS OF THE IOT: APPROACHING PRIVACY BY DESIGN

Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) is an ever-expanding network of sensors and devices. These devices and sensors can present several privacy and security concerns regarding the human activity that is monitored and logged. In military environments, the consequences of privacy leakage can be enormous. Engineers and designers of the IoT would do well to adhere to privacy by design principles when creating IoT sensors or devices and expanding the IoT.
