ABSTRACT
Recently data-management system researchers have been focusing on developing data-management techniques for managing sensor databases. Although much progress has been made on sensor database management, there is still a lot to be done. For example, very little consideration has been given to security and privacy for sensor databases. Sensors are often operating in an open environment and are vulnerable. The data managed by sensors may be compromised. We need security techniques to ensure that the sensor data is protected. We must also ensure that the data is not maliciously corrupted. Furthermore, privacy is an added consideration. People may want the information collected about them to be private. This clearly illustrates the need for applying trustworthy semantic Web technologies to develop a secure semantic sensor Web.
