ABSTRACT

Abstract. With the development and deployment of the Internet of Things (IoT), some key personal applications attract more and more attention, for example, wireless body sensor networks and participatory sensing. In those personal IoT applications, privacy issues have been envisioned as being of paramount importance. Currently, although many schemes have been proposed for guaranteeing personal privacy, the overall performance and robustness of the schemes may not be thoroughly tackled. In this chapter, we explore current privacy problems in key personal IoT applications such as wireless body sensor networks and participatory sensing. We especially propose some feasible schemes that are lightweight and robust.
