Concepts

Before start talking about the relationship between these 4 concepts: Internet of Things, Big Data, Mobility

and Data Privacy it is necessary to do a short definition of them: (all definitions come fromWikipedia)

� Internet of Things: Called simply “IoT” and sometimes “Internet of things and services” is the

interconnection of uniquely identifiable embedded computing devices within the existing Internet

infrastructure. The interconnection of these embedded devices, in the near future, is expected to usher

in automation in nearly ALL fields.

� Big Data: Is a broad term for data sets so large or complex that traditional data processing applications

are inadequate. Include analysis, capture, data curation, search, sharing, storage, transfer, visualization,

and information privacy.

� Mobility: Concept in relation with Mobile computing. Is a human–computer interaction by which a

computer is expected to be transported during normal usage. Mobile computing involves mobile

communication, mobile hardware, and mobile software.

� Data Privacy: Data privacy, Information privacy or data protection, is the relationship between

collection and dissemination of data, technology, the public expectation of privacy, and the legal and

political issues surrounding them.

The relationship between these 4 concepts

In this presentation the focus is on the relationship between 4 concepts: Internet of Things, Big Data,

Mobility and Data Privacy

We can also think about these 4 concepts in these terms:

Nowadays, and even more in the future, Internet of Things, Big Data and Mobility will be present (they are

already now) in our personal and professional life. The more these concepts grow, the more risk we are

assuming about misuse of our privacy data, so more effort we will need to do to improve our privacy.

We can do a resume of the actual/future status like this:

Internet of Things and/or Big Data and/or Mobility Data Privacy

Internet of Things and Privacy Data

Internet of Things definitely is a big relationship between physical World and virtual World.

In the future (already now) the extensive use of our data in this new “virtual World” causes a huge risk of

misuse of our private data.

There are some uses of Internet of Things:

� Environmental Monitoring

� Energy Management

� Infrastructure Management

� Industrial Applications

� Building and Home Automation

� Transport Systems

� Large Scale Deployments

� Medical and Healthcare Systems

Big Data and Privacy Data

Big Data is a broad term for data sets so large or complex that traditional data processing applications are

inadequate, including analysis and so many actions including information privacy.

In the future (already now) the use of our data in Big data analysis environments will causes a huge risk of

misuse of our private data (examples: sale database, hacking attacks which produce data leaks).

There are some actions done in Big Data:

� Data Analysis

� Capture of data

� Data curation

� Search of data

� Data sharing

� Data storage

� Data transfer

� Data visualization

� Information privacy use

Mobility and Privacy Data

Mobility or Mobile computing have almost an infinite list of uses of our data doing data processing, data

sharing, data transfer, data publishing, etc. using Apps in our smart phones, tablets and other mobile

devices, wearables to manage all these data, including also critical privacy data in e-Health applications.

Apps installed in our mobile devices do too many actions including access to our privacy data. Protect our

privacy seems to be impossible without knowing the IT security controls all these Apps have applied (who

knows what all these Apps do with our data?).

Think for a moment about pacemakers and defibrillators connected to Internet and a huge number of

telemedicine devices, many of them with patient data.

Mobility and Privacy Data (continue)

Some big risks are:

1. Hacking data leak in our mobile devices

2. Sale database

3. Vulnerabilities into Apps code which create IT security threats

In the future (already now) an extensive use of our data in mobile computing environments will causes a

huge risk of misuse of our private data.

Conclusions

We can easily think that Internet of Things, Big Data and Mobility will give us a big number of problems

about our privacy, some of them with big impact (in virtual and real world).

It is clear that we are “opening” many doors (too many?) to give opportunities to do a misuse of our data and

maybe we can also think all it is not logical because it is an attitude with too much risk appetite.

In one hand maybe all this reasoning is right, but in the other hand, we can not stop this 4th Industrial

Revolution so we need to live with it and to do as much improvement as possible to protect our Data from

misuse, unauthorized access, etc.
