Description

In the Telecommunication field, a new technology called the Internet of Things (IoT)

is emerging. The Internet of Things (IoT) is the network of physical objects, devices,

cars, structures, etc. and other items integrated with electronics, software, sensors, and

network connectivity, enabling these objects to collect and exchange information. IoT

technology is the next major breakthrough in the technology industry, but with the big

distinction that it brings considerable changes in the industry functioning . In

coming years, a surge in number of linked appliances, situated sites and in the tasks

executed by such devices is anticipated. Furthermore, the most significant impact that

implementation of IoT will have would be on different aspects of users' routine life

and behaviour. Most evident impact of IoT would be noticed in both public places and

workplaces.

IoT will soon play a leading rolein domestic life, e-health, assisted the living, and

enhanced learning. Different industry consumers would observe comparable

implications in sectors such as logistics, smart people and goods transportation,

automation and industrial manufacturing, and business/process management, and

more. The Internet of Things is predominantly composed of three main parts:

1. The things (objects).

2. The communication networks that connect them.

3. The computer systems that use data streaming to and from objects

Government has used different data privacy schemes for the protection of information

against the threats since the misuse of personal information is increasing day by day.

The growing trend of outsourced software application development and testing also

increases the risk of misuse of sensitive data. Data anonymization is the process of

identifying sensitive data while preserving its format and data type. This process is

critical for sharing data without exposing any sensitive information contained in the

database to third parties. Disclosure of information is one of the way through which

user can be identified. By using anonymization technology, data set privacy can be

protected from various disclosures (such as information loss, membership disclosure,

and more).

The word privacy means that information related to an individual must be secure

without disclosing it to the public under any circumstances. Everyone has the ultimate

right to secure personal data. IoT application can win the trust of users by offering

appropriate security. But sharing data without the permission of users and thus

violating users' privacy could have damaging effect on the credibility of such

network.
