Abstract

Despite the multiple advantages of the Internet-of-Things (IoT), many users are still skeptical considering IoT as another disruptive information and communication technology that is “silently” invading their privacy with the risk of having their habits, preferences, and choices exposed publicly. To mitigate this silent invasion, this paper looks into innovative ways of making IoT sensitive to privacy by first, allowing users to explicitly express what is permitted, forbidden, and obliged over their personal data using the Open Digital Rights Language (ODRL), and second, adjusting things’ specifications like the Web-of-Things Thing Description (WoT TD), so that things would act according to these users’ permissions, prohibitions, and obligations. A system implementing and demonstrating the blend of ODRL with WoT TD is presented based on a case study capturing privacy concerns in a center for elderly people.
