Abstract

New products and services offered by the "internet of things" will make us more efficient, more able to understand our environment and take action, and new assistive technologies will allow us to extend our working lives. Nonetheless, we will coexist with a large number of devices collecting information about our activities, habits, preferences, etc. This situation could threaten our privacy. Distrust could be a barrier to the full development of these new products and services. This article offers a possible solution to ensure security and privacy for personal data on the internet of things, using techniques that result from a collaboration between the business, legislative and technological areas and are designed to build trust with all stakeholders.
