Smart Service Systems: Security and Privacy Challenges in Internet of Things

Abstract

Monitoring and detecting changes in the environment and can be used for several purposes. To develop new advanced services for smart environments, data gathered during the monitoring need to be stored, processed and correlated to different parts of the information that characterizes or influences the environment itself. With the quick advancement in enabling technologies for ubiquitous computing, more and more active or passive devices/sensors are augmented in the smart indoor environment. Service innovations, enabled by the confluence of big data, mobile solutions, cloud, social, and cognitive computing, and the Internet of Things (IoT), have gained a lot of attention among many enterprises in the past few years because they represent promising ways for companies to effectively and rapidly deliver new services. But one of today's most pervasive and bedeviling challenges is how to start this journey and stay on course. In this paper we present our state-of-the-art technology and IoT devices, how they are playing a vital role in making the world advanced. The biggest conclusion is that all the information and communications technology (ICT)-enabled service innovations need to be human-centered and focused on co-creating value. We took into consideration smart home/office IoT systems, the related security and privacy challenges and an outlook on the possible solutions towards a holistic security framework for these IoT systems.
