物联网在安全和隐私方面新挑战.doc

英文文献 Internet of Things–New security and privacy challenges Rolf H. Weber University of Zurich, Zurich, Switzerland, and University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong abstract The Internet of Things,an emerging global Internet-based technical architecture facilitating the exchange of goods and services in global supply chain networks has an impact on the security and privacy of the involved stakeholders. Measures ensuring the architecture’s resilience to attacks, data authentication, access control and client privacy need to be established. An adequate legal framework must take the underlying technology into account and would best be established by an international legislator, which is supplemented by the private sector according to specific needs and thereby becomes easily adjustable. The contents of the respective legislation must encompass the right to information, provisions prohibiting or restricting the use of mechanisms of the Internet of Things, rules on IT-security-legislation, provisions supporting the use of mechanisms of the Internet of Things and the establishment of a task force doing research on the legal challenges of the IoT. a 2010 Prof Rolf H.

Internet of Things: notion and technical background The Internet of Things (IoT) is an emerging global Internet-based information architecture facilitating the exchange of goods and services in global supply chain networks.1Forexample, the lack of certain goods would automatically be reported to the provider which in turn immediately causes electronic or physical delivery. From a technical point of view,the architecture is based on data communication tools,primarily RFID-tagged items (Radio-Frequency Identification).The IoT has the purpose of providing an IT-infra-structure facilitating the exchanges of ‘‘things’’ in a secure and reliable manner.
