Presence metadata in the Internet of Things challenges and opportunities

Hegarty, R; Haggerty, J

Abstract

The Internet of Things is an emerging computing paradigm that promises to revolutionise society. The
widespread capture and aggregation of data from sensors and smart devices combined with processing using
machine learning in cloud computing platforms provides unrivalled insights into our environment. In addition
to the numerous benefits (smart healthcare, cities, transportation, etc.) such insights potentially jeopardise the
privacy of individuals, organisations, and society as whole. This is despite UK and EU regulations attempting
to mitigate the risk of individuals’ data exposure and the impact of it on their security. To demonstrate the
exploitation of metadata and its threat to privacy, this paper presents Meta-Blue, a Bluetooth Low Energy
metadata capture, analysis, and visualisation tool. The results of a case study are combined with an overview
of literature on IoT privacy to provide a holistic overview of the challenges and opportunities presented by
IoT metadata.
