Abstract

Internet of Things (IoT) has been shaped to a phenomenon from some technical framework. The smart environment based on IoT has been introduced by the construction of smart cities, offices, universities and factories. These smart environments consist of smart devices replacing simple appliances from our home and workplaces. With this interconnected environment we are connected, accessible and smartly managed through intelligent systems. These intelligent systems work on our personal, historical and current data. This data sharing brought new challenges of the privacy preservation of individuals living in this smart world. This paper provides a study of the issues related to the data sharing through these smart devices over service providing cloud. It proposes communication architecture by introducing an intermediate layer of data sharing control consisting of privacy agents. It also includes a methodology to define a customized privacy policy for different personal properties within different business models.
