End-to-End Privacy for Open Big Data Markets
The idea of an open data market envisions the creation of a data trading
model to facilitate exchange of data between different parties in the Internet
of Things (IoT) domain. The data collected by IoT products and solutions are
expected to be traded in these markets. Data owners will collect data using IoT
products and solutions. Data consumers who are interested will negotiate with
the data owners to get access to such data. Data captured by IoT products will
allow data consumers to further understand the preferences and behaviours of
data owners and to generate additional business value using different
techniques ranging from waste reduction to personalized service offerings. In
open data markets, data consumers will be able to give back part of the
additional value generated to the data owners. However, privacy becomes a
significant issue when data that can be used to derive extremely personal
information is being traded. This paper discusses why privacy matters in the
IoT domain in general and especially in open data markets and surveys existing
privacy-preserving strategies and design techniques that can be used to
facilitate end to end privacy for open data markets. We also highlight some of
the major research challenges that need to be address in order to make the
vision of open data markets a reality through ensuring the privacy of
stakeholders.Comment: Accepted to be published in IEEE Cloud Computing Magazine: Special

Systematic Review on Security and Privacy Requirements in Edge Computing: State of the Art and Future Research Opportunities
Edge computing is a promising paradigm that enhances the capabilities of cloud computing. In order to continue patronizing the computing services, it is essential to conserve a good atmosphere free from all kinds of security and privacy breaches. The security and privacy issues associated with the edge computing environment have narrowed the overall acceptance of the technology as a reliable paradigm. Many researchers have reviewed security and privacy issues in edge computing, but not all have fully investigated the security and privacy requirements. Security and privacy requirements are the objectives that indicate the capabilities as well as functions a system performs in eliminating certain security and privacy vulnerabilities. The paper aims to substantially review the security and privacy requirements of the edge computing and the various technological methods employed by the techniques used in curbing the threats, with the aim of helping future researchers in identifying research opportunities. This paper investigate the current studies and highlights the following: (1) the classification of security and privacy requirements in edge computing, (2) the state of the art techniques deployed in curbing the security and privacy threats, (3) the trends of technological methods employed by the techniques, (4) the metrics used for evaluating the performance of the techniques, (5) the taxonomy of attacks affecting the edge network, and the corresponding technological trend employed in mitigating the attacks, and, (6) research opportunities for future researchers in the area of edge computing security and privacy
Emerging privacy challenges and approaches in CAV systems
The growth of Internet-connected devices, Internet-enabled services and Internet of Things systems continues at a rapid pace, and their application to transport systems is heralded as game-changing. Numerous developing CAV (Connected and Autonomous Vehicle) functions, such as traffic planning, optimisation, management, safety-critical and cooperative autonomous driving applications, rely on data from various sources. The efficacy of these functions is highly dependent on the dimensionality, amount and accuracy of the data being shared. It holds, in general, that the greater the amount of data available, the greater the efficacy of the function. However, much of this data is privacy-sensitive, including personal, commercial and research data. Location data and its correlation with identity and temporal data can help infer other personal information, such as home/work locations, age, job, behavioural features, habits, social relationships. This work categorises the emerging privacy challenges and solutions for CAV systems and identifies the knowledge gap for future research, which will minimise and mitigate privacy concerns without hampering the efficacy of the functions
Security and Privacy for Green IoT-based Agriculture: Review, Blockchain solutions, and Challenges
open access articleThis paper presents research challenges on security and privacy issues in the field of green IoT-based agriculture. We start by describing a four-tier green IoT-based agriculture architecture and summarizing the existing surveys that deal with smart agriculture. Then, we provide a classification of threat models against green IoT-based agriculture into five categories, including, attacks against privacy, authentication, confidentiality, availability, and integrity properties. Moreover, we provide a taxonomy and a side-by-side comparison of the state-of-the-art methods toward secure and privacy-preserving technologies for IoT applications and how they will be adapted for green IoT-based agriculture. In addition, we analyze the privacy-oriented blockchain-based solutions as well as consensus algorithms for IoT applications and how they will be adapted for green IoT-based agriculture. Based on the current survey, we highlight open research challenges and discuss possible future research directions in the security and privacy of green IoT-based agriculture
