A privacy framework for the Internet of Things

Privacy is a concept that is intertwined with data security, but its scope is significantly broader. Often considerations of privacy in the context of connected devices are limited to a consideration of the security of the data stored in those devices. In this article a broader scope is introduced and defined in terms of different classes of privacy and the implications for IoT devices and systems is discussed. Finally some ideas for an improved privacy framework for IoT are outlined and explained in the context of the literature and current state-of-art.
