Tutorial T14: Privacy Assurance in the IoT World

Summary form only given, as follows. The complete presentation was not made available for publication as part of the conference proceedings. Most Internet-of-Things (IoT) applications collect and aggregate data from a large number of sensors/users. The data often contains sensitive information related to the associated users and system. In recent years, there is extensive research on techniques to assure confidentiality of sensitive information in such systems. In this tutorial, we will introduce the privacy challenge, review the different approaches for privacy assurances in literature, and highlight open issues that need further investigation. The tutorial will use example from smart grids, smart homes, smart cities, mobile computing, and intelligent transportation systems to illustrate the solution approaches. This tutorial will be of interest to undergraduate and graduate students working in different IoT applications areas such as smart city projects, smart homes, and mobile computing. Industrial participants working in IoT technologies will also benefit from this tutorial. Lecturers in Indian engineering colleges who are teaching courses in security and privacy can also use this tutorial to not only get a broad overview but also to understand recent advances in the area. The tutorial will be self-contained.
