Privacy Preservation and Security Mechanisms in the Internet of Things Ecosystem

Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) is rapidly becoming an integral part of daily life, from smart homes to healthcare and industrial applications. However, as IoT devices proliferate, ensuring the privacy and security of the data they generate and transmit has become a critical concern. This paper discusses the privacy challenges and security risks in the IoT ecosystem, along with various mechanisms for ensuring data protection. The paper also explores existing privacy-preserving techniques, security protocols, and the potential future directions for securing the IoT ecosystem.
