Abstract
In this paper, we describe developments towards the Internet of Things (IoT) and discuss architecture visions for the IoT. Our emphasis is to analyze the known and new threats for the security, privacy and trust (SPT) at different levels of architecture. Our strong view is that the IoT will be an important part of the global huge ICT infrastructure (“future Internet”) humanity will be strongly relying on in the future with relatively few data centers connected to trillions of sensors and other “things” over gateways, various access networks and a global network connecting them. While the infrastructure is globally connected, it is divided into millions of management domains, such as homes, smart cities, power grids, access points and networks, data centers, etc. It will evolve both bottom-up and top-down. An important question is what consequences a bottom-up and top-down construction of the IoT infrastructure has for the security, privacy and trust and what kind of regulation is appropriate. We review the currently emerging privacy regulation in EU.
