Abstract
We present a framework for privacy preservation in an information cloud of IoT devices. We contend that privacy provisioning should be located in the user device and must protect the user, the information, and the device from breaches in privacy. We elaborate on how the layered privacy model can ensure such privacy provisioning, and justify the device being the provisioning point instead of the cloud alone. We present the point of view that, due to resource limitations of the IoT devices in general, the privacy preserving measures need to be hard-coded in the device technology. We fall short of suggesting various security controls that can be used for secure communication of private data and focus only on controlling the sharing in an untrusted environment where data is represented as database records with three types of attributes: personally-identifying, quasi-identifying and sensitive attributes. The proposed system empowers the data owner to fully decide and control data sharing at an attribute level.
