Privacy and Data Security in the IoT Environment

Internet stvari postao je sastavni dio svakodnevnog života ljudi diljem svijeta. Od pametnih mobilnih uređaja pa sve do pametnih domova i gradova, ljudi su okruženi brojnim senzorima i kamerama koji neumorno prikupljaju statističke podatke o njima. Sastavljanjem svih prikupljenih podataka može se dobiti cjelokupna slika o načinu života pojedinca, njegovim navikama, ponašanju, rutama kretanja, stavovima, njegovom zdravstvenom stanju i privatnom životu. Slikovito, to bi značilo da je život pojedinca izložen kao na dlanu. Zvuči kao špijuniranje i narušavanje zakona, ali ne, to je samo tehnologija koja je dio Industrije 4.0. Stvari u okolini postaju sve pametnije i sve više preuzimaju ulogu čovjeka, a ljudi sve više ovise o toj tehnologiji ne shvaćajući koliko su podaci u takvom sustavu ugroženi. Sve to povlači pitanja odgovornosti pojedinaca, kompanija, državnih, standardizacijskih i pravnih tijela. U konačnici tehnologiju je nemoguće zaustaviti, ali je moguće poduzeti korake za kontrolu iste.Internet of things technology has become an integral part of daily human's life. From smart mobile phones to smart homes and cities, people are surrounded by numerous sensors and cameras that collect statistics about them. Compiling all collected data would give a complete picture of the individual's lifestyle, his habits, behaviour, movements, attitudes, health and private life. Figuratively, this would mean that human life is exposed as in the palm of hand. It sounds as spying and breaking the law, but no, it's just part of Industry 4.0 technology. Things in the environment are getting smarter and more taking the human role, so people are becoming more dependent on this technology not realizing how much data is compromised in such system. But, question is who is responsible, starting from individuals, companies, states, standardization companies and legislators. In the end, technology is impossible to stop, but is possible to control it
