Panel Discussion Topics

Wireless networking, mobility, sensing, object-to-object communication, and object-to-people communication are turning the Internet of Things into a ubiquitous facility that, on one hand, opens up a range of new services and applications and, on the other hand, leads to a variety of potential risks in terms of information security and people’s privacy. Automated and context-aware communication is both an opportunity and a threat. In this context, many IoT security and privacy challenges exist, and many questions can be formulated. Some of these are:

• Is privacy and security by design being taken into account? Is it enough?
• How to guarantee informed consent and data minimisation in automated environments?
• How can the user keep control of his/her data?
• How to prevent or facilitate fine-grained control of information leakage across IoT applications?
• What are the main health-related implications of IoT?
• What are the main threats to the availability of critical services, as these are increasingly dependent on IoT systems?
• What are the main types of IoT malicious attacks and how can they be dealt with?
• Does existing legislation guarantee security and privacy? Is this legislation too restrictive or, on the contrary, is it not enough?
