Book Description
This SpringerBrief analyzes the potential privacy threats in wireless and mobile network environments, and reviews some existing works. It proposes multiple privacy preserving techniques against several types of privacy threats that are targeting users in a mobile network environment. Depending on the network architecture, different approaches can be adopted. The first proposed approach considers a three-party system architecture where there is a trusted central authority that can be used to protect users’ privacy. The second approach considers a totally distributed environment where users perform privacy protection by themselves. Finally, more general system architecture is discussed including how a semi-trusted server may exist, but users need to collaborate to achieve maximized privacy protection. This brief is designed for researchers and professionals working with privacy preservation, mobile networks, and threat models. The variety of approaches presented makes it useful for students as well.

Location Privacy in Wireless Sensor Networks
Author: Ruben Rios
Publisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 1498776345
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 194
Book Description
Today all kinds of ubiquitous systems, led by wireless sensor networks, can be seen as an unprecedented privacy risk given their ability to collect information on quantities and situations so far unsuspected. There is therefore an urgent need to develop mechanisms to ensure privacy in sensor networks. Location Privacy in Wireless Sensor Networks focuses on location privacy, by which an attacker might determine the source and destination of communications with simple techniques. This poses a serious threat as the attacker might use this information to reach the assets or individuals being monitored or even to destroy or compromise the whole network. This book will aid in the protection against this serious privacy threat.

Aspects of Personal Privacy in Communications - Problems, Technology and Solutions
Author: Geir M. Køien
Publisher: River Publishers
ISBN: 8792982085
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 282
Book Description
Modern society is rapidly becoming fully digitalized. This has many benefits, but unfortunately, it also means that personal privacy is threatened. The threat does not so much come from a 1984 style Big Brother but rather from a set of smaller big brothers. These small big brothers are companies that we interact with - public services and institutions - and that we invite to our private data. Privacy as a subject can be problematic as it is a personal freedom. In this book, we do not take a political stand on personal privacy and what level of personal freedom and privacy is the correct one. The text instead focuses on understanding what privacy is and some of the technologies that may help us to regain a bit of privacy. It discusses what the different aspects of privacy may be and why privacy needs to be there by default. There are boundaries between personal privacy and societal requirements, and inevitably society will set limits to our privacy (Lawful Interception, etc.). There are technologies that are specifically designed to help us regain some digital privacy. These are commonly known as Privacy Enhancing Technologies (PETs). Aspects of Personal Privacy in Communications investigates some of these PETs, including MIX networks, Onion Routing, and various privacy-preserving methods. Other aspects include identity and location privacy in cellular systems, privacy in RFID, Internet-of-Things (IoT), and sensor networks amongst others. The text also covers some aspects of cloud systems.

Cloud IoT
Author: Jitendra Kumar Verma
Publisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 100064734X
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 286
Book Description
The Internet of Things (IoT) is one of the most disruptive technologies, enabling ubiquitous and pervasive computing scenarios. IoT is based on intelligent self-configuring nodes (also known as things) interconnected in a dynamic and global collaborative network infrastructure. In contrast, Cloud computing has virtually unlimited capabilities in terms of storage and processing power, speed, and is a more mature technology. Due to intrinsic nature of Cloud computing and IoT, they both complement each other. Recently, we are witnessing an increasing trend in exploiting use of both Cloud and IoT together. Salient Features: • Presents latest developments in Cloud computing • Presents latest developments in Internet of Things • Establishes links between interdisciplinary areas where IoT and Cloud both can play a role for improvement of process • Intends to provide an insight into non-IT related models for improvement of lives • Bridges the gap between obsolete literature and current literature This book is aimed primarily at advanced undergraduates and graduates working with IoT and cloud computing. Researchers, academicians, policy makers, government officials, NGOs, and industry research professionals would also find the book useful.

Privacy in Location-Based Applications
Author: Claudio Bettini
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 3642035116
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 223
Book Description
Location-based applications refer to those that use location data in a prominent manner. Location data can be very effective for service provisioning, enabling the birth of a new generation of information services. Although data security and privacy issues have been extensively investigated in several domains, current techniques are not readily applicable to location-based applications. Conciliating the effectiveness of these applications with privacy concerns constitutes a unique challenge, mostly due to the semantic richness of location and time information. Research in this field involves aspects of spatio-temporal reasoning, query processing, system security, statistical inference, and more importantly, anonymization techniques. Several research groups have been working in recent years to identify privacy attacks and defense techniques in this domain. This state-of-the-art survey provides a solid ground for researchers approaching this topic to understand current achievements through a common categorization of privacy threats and defense techniques. This objective is particularly challenging considering the specific (and often implicit) assumptions that characterize the recent literature on privacy in location-based services. The book also illustrates the many facets that make the study of this topic a particularly interesting research subject, including topics that go beyond privacy preserving transformations of service requests, and include access control, privacy preserving publishing of moving object data, privacy in the use of specific positioning technology, and privacy in vehicular network applications.
