Towards a Personal Data Protection Framework in an IoT environment: Smart Hotel use case

subject

description

International audience; The tremendous growth of Internet of Things (IoT) related services made the overlapping ecosystem a privileged target for cyber-attacks. The constrained nature for most of IoT devices and their limited resources, in terms of computation, storage, communication and energy, have led to serious vulnerabilities. Thus, addressing the underlying technical and research challenges has become a central focus for many research groups in industry and academia. In this context, the ITEA PARFAIT European R&D project was concocted in order to develop a new framework for cyber-security preserving and personal data protection in IoT environments. The project, mainly, aims to build cross-platform software enablers to support the deployment of seamless security measures and protocols. Therefore, a consortium of eleven leading actors from three different countries, covering industry and academia, are joint together to innovate and generate new state-of-the-art solutions addressing security challenges in the IoT ecosystem. This newsletter explains the main goals for the PARFAIT project, outlines its overall architecture and highlights relevant proposals and contributions.
