Abstract

A large number of devices are connected to the internet through the Internet of Things (IoT) paradigm, resulting in a huge amount of produced data. Cloud computing is a computing paradigm currently adopted to process, store and provide access control to these data. This integration is called Cloud of Things - CoT and is useful in personal networks, like residential automation and health care, since it facilitates the access to the information. Although this integration brings benefits to the users, it introduces many security challenges since the information leaves the user control and is stored at the cloud providers. Particularly interesting, in order for these technologies to be adopted, it is important to provide protocols and mechanisms to preserve the users privacy when storing their data in the cloud. In this context, this paper proposes an architecture for privacy in Cloud of Things, which allows the users to fully control the access to the data generated by the devices of their IoT networks and stored in the cloud. The proposed architecture enables a fine grained control over data, since the privacy protocols and controls are executed at the IoT devices instead of at the network border by a gateway, which also could represent a single point of failure or a component that could impair the security properties of the system once it is compromised by a successful attack.
