The adoption of smart home devices is hindered today by the privacy concerns users have regarding their personal data. Since these devices depend on remote service providers, users remain oblivious about how and when their data is disclosed and processed.
In this paper Igor Zavalyshyn, Nuno O. Duarte and Nuno Santos present HomePad, a privacy-aware smart hub for home environments.
Our system aims to empower users with the ability to determine how applications can access and process sensitive data collected by smart devices (e.g., web cams) and to prevent applications from executing unless they abide by the privacy restrictions specified by the users.
This paper will be presented at the Third ACM/IEEE Symposium on Edge Computing (SEC'18) on October 25-27, 2018 at Bellevue, WA, USA
