Supporting Business Privacy Protection in Wireless Sensor Networks

With the pervasive use of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) within commercial environments, business privacy leakage due to the exposure of sensitive information transmitted in a WSN has become a major issue for enterprises. We examine business privacy protection in the application of WSNs. We propose a business privacy-protection system (BPS) that is modeled as a hierarchical profile in order to filter sensitive information with respect to enterprise-specified privacy requirements. The BPS aims at solving a tradeoff between metrics that are defined to estimate the utility of information and the business privacy risk. We design profile, risk assessment, and filtration agents to implement the BPS based on multiagent technology. The effectiveness of our proposed BPS is validated by experiments

Obfuscation and anonymization methods for locational privacy protection : a systematic literature review

Dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in Geospatial TechnologiesThe mobile technology development combined with the business model of a majority of application companies is posing a potential risk to individuals’ privacy. Because the industry default practice is unrestricted data collection. Although, the data collection has virtuous usage in improve services and procedures; it also undermines user’s privacy. For that reason is crucial to learn what is the privacy protection mechanism state-of-art. Privacy protection can be pursued by passing new regulation and developing preserving mechanism. Understanding in what extent the current technology is capable to protect devices or systems is important to drive the advancements in the privacy preserving field, addressing the limits and challenges to deploy mechanism with a reasonable quality of Service-QoS level. This research aims to display and discuss the current privacy preserving schemes, its capabilities, limitations and challenges

Cobertura máxima de redes de sensores inalámbricos para un sistema de gestión de energía en hogares inteligentes

This article was developed based on sensor networks for Smart Grids, together with appropriate management methodology which it allows us to analyze and check by a simulation the behavior of these wireless networks in an internal way, inside of a dwelling or smart home, knowing that we use different parameters or restrictions like the coverage distance, the capacity and the percentage of coverage. For this we described the intelligent network infrastructure and we propose a mathematical model to minimize the distance from the sensors to the access points inside the considered area. Additionally, this paper is focused on the design of these smart grids. An optimization of the different feasible points is presented, obtaining a maximum coverage of the sensors, in order to implement an appropriate energy management system in smart homes, based on reliable service network connectivity.Este artículo se desarrolla con base en redes de sensores sobre Smart Grids, en conjunto con una metodología de gestión apropiada que nos permita analizar y comprobar mediante una simulación el comportamiento de estas redes inalámbricas de una manera interna, dentro de una vivienda u hogar inteligente, teniendo en cuenta varios parámetros o restricciones como son la distancia de cobertura, la capacidad y el porcentaje de cobertura. Para ello se describe la infraestructura de redes inteligentes y se plantea un modelo matemático para minimizar la distancia de los sensores a los puntos de acceso dentro del área considerada. Además está enfocado en el diseño de estas redes inteligentes, donde se realiza una optimización de los diferentes puntos factibles, con lo que se logra una máxima cobertura de los sensores para implementar un adecuado sistema de gestión de energía en hogares inteligentes, basado en un servicio fiable de la conectividad de la red
