Big Data Privacy Context: Literature Effects On Secure Informational Assets
This article's objective is the identification of research opportunities in
the current big data privacy domain, evaluating literature effects on secure
informational assets. Until now, no study has analyzed such relation. Its
results can foster science, technologies and businesses. To achieve these
objectives, a big data privacy Systematic Literature Review (SLR) is performed
on the main scientific peer reviewed journals in Scopus database. Bibliometrics
and text mining analysis complement the SLR. This study provides support to big
data privacy researchers on: most and least researched themes, research
novelty, most cited works and authors, themes evolution through time and many
others. In addition, TOPSIS and VIKOR ranks were developed to evaluate
literature effects versus informational assets indicators. Secure Internet
Servers (SIS) was chosen as decision criteria. Results show that big data
privacy literature is strongly focused on computational aspects. However,
individuals, societies, organizations and governments face a technological
change that has just started to be investigated, with growing concerns on law
and regulation aspects. TOPSIS and VIKOR Ranks differed in several positions
and the only consistent country between literature and SIS adoption is the
United States. Countries in the lowest ranking positions represent future
research opportunities.Comment: 21 pages, 9 figure
On the Convergence of Blockchain and Internet of Things (IoT) Technologies
The Internet of Things (IoT) technology will soon become an integral part of
our daily lives to facilitate the control and monitoring of processes and
objects and revolutionize the ways that human interacts with the physical
world. For all features of IoT to become fully functional in practice, there
are several obstacles on the way to be surmounted and critical challenges to be
addressed. These include, but are not limited to cybersecurity, data privacy,
energy consumption, and scalability. The Blockchain decentralized nature and
its multi-faceted procedures offer a useful mechanism to tackle several of
these IoT challenges. However, applying the Blockchain protocols to IoT without
considering their tremendous computational loads, delays, and bandwidth
overhead can let to a new set of problems. This review evaluates some of the
main challenges we face in the integration of Blockchain and IoT technologies
and provides insights and high-level solutions that can potentially handle the
shortcomings and constraints of both IoT and Blockchain technologies.Comment: Includes 11 Pages, 3 Figures, To publish in Journal of Strategic

Frictionless Authentication Systems: Emerging Trends, Research Challenges and Opportunities
Authentication and authorization are critical security layers to protect a
wide range of online systems, services and content. However, the increased
prevalence of wearable and mobile devices, the expectations of a frictionless
experience and the diverse user environments will challenge the way users are
authenticated. Consumers demand secure and privacy-aware access from any
device, whenever and wherever they are, without any obstacles. This paper
reviews emerging trends and challenges with frictionless authentication systems
and identifies opportunities for further research related to the enrollment of
users, the usability of authentication schemes, as well as security and privacy
trade-offs of mobile and wearable continuous authentication systems.Comment: published at the 11th International Conference on Emerging Security
