Abstract

Internet of Things (IoT) has become a prominent part of the technologies leveraged by smart cities. IoT enables the collection of data and the processing of information to provide a better value to the city and its citizens. The use of IoT devices in smart cities has enabled many applications that generate security issues despite their provided benefits. These security issues in return generate more citizens’ or users’ privacy issues as the data and information flow are compromised. There are many privacy related concerns in smart cities that are generated from the security issues pertaining to IoT, Big Data, and ICT enabled tech applications, which require a thorough understanding to better build resilient privacy aware smart cities. This paper provides a comprehensive, characterized, and wide-ranging synopsis of the research on privacy issues springing from IoT, Big Data, and ICT enabled tech applications and their associated security flaws and presents solutions as they pertain to the relevant citizen value driven privacy framework quadrant (Musafiri Mimo and McDaniel in 3D privacy framework: the citizen value driven privacy framework [1]). The characterization is based on the application’s most relevant privacy framework quadrant, the applicable security flaws, and the present solutions that potentially lessen the associated privacy concerns among citizens in smart cities.
