ABSTRACT
Internet of Things (IoT) applications and supporting stakeholders can all mutually benefit from the establishing of a trusted IoT. Trust means establishing suitable provisions for privacy, security and governance. The adoption of IoT essentially depends upon trust. Moreover this trust must be established and maintained with respect to a broad group of stakeholders otherwise IoT will face, to some degree or other, challenges which may restrict adoption scope or delay its timing. The European Research Cluster on the Internet of Things has created a number of activity chains to favour close cooperation between the projects addressing IoT topics and to form an arena for exchange of ideas and open dialog on important research challenges. The goal of the BUTLER project is the creation of an experimental technical platform to support the development of the IoT. The BUTLER project also addresses the Security and Privacy challenges from the point of view of their implication on business models.
