Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) has gained immense popularity over the last decade with wide-ranging applications in domains of medicine, science, military as well as domestic use. Despite its tremendous growth, privacy concerns plague IoT applications and have the potential to hamper the benefits derived from its usage. This paper carries out a statistical analysis of empirical data collected from users of IoT to assess the level of awareness among users of IoT. The mode of study was through a questionnaire sent through Google forms to a selection of Indians living across the U.S. The place was chosen as some of the authors were in that country and also because its usage is more in the U.S. Many homes have extensive use of IoT, even if it’s for simple operations like turning on/off electric bulbs. Privacy issues have also been a matter of concern as these devices are linked to the internet. The sample was chosen from judgment /convenience sampling. Only one member per family was asked to respond so that there is no overlap of the collected data. The respondents were asked about the privacy issues of using IOT devices and also if it bothered them to continue usage. The results showed that not only were users aware of the privacy issues related to IoT, but they also expressed concerns over the same. Due to the convenience and ease of usage, it is highly unlikely that people will stop using these devices but definitely, the usage will be more guarded in the future.
物联网设备隐私在美国印度人样本中的研究- 2021
物联网(IoT)在过去十年中获得了极大的普及,在医学,科学,军事以及家庭使用领域得到了广泛的应用。尽管其增长巨大,但隐私问题困扰着物联网应用,并有可能阻碍其使用带来的好处。本文对从物联网用户中收集的经验数据进行统计分析,以评估用户对物联网的认知水平。研究模式是通过谷歌表格向居住在美国各地的印度人发送调查问卷。选择这个地方是因为一些作者在那个国家,也因为它在美国的使用更多。许多家庭广泛使用物联网,即使是简单的操作,如打开/关闭灯泡。由于这些设备与互联网相连,隐私问题也引起了人们的关注。样本取自判断抽样/方便抽样。每个家庭只有一名成员被要求回答,因此收集的数据没有重叠。受访者被问及使用物联网设备的隐私问题,以及是否会打扰他们继续使用。结果显示,用户不仅意识到与物联网相关的隐私问题,而且他们也表达了对这些问题的担忧。由于方便易用,人们不太可能停止使用这些设备,但肯定的是,未来的使用将更加谨慎。
