Synopsis

The chapters in this book explore the main domains that represent considerable risks for the respect of privacy, such as education, health, finance or social media.

Through its place in the massive data production industry, the Internet of Things participates in the development of artificial intelligence and is increasingly attracting the attention of web giants, governments and especially all types of hackers. Thanks to this book, private and public organizations will have at their disposal a tool that highlights, on the one hand, the major challenges raised by privacy in the context of the Internet of Things and, on the other hand, recommendations for improving good practices.

Digital identity is presented as a bulwark for the protection of privacy. It opens up new avenues for improving digital trust. Concretely, there are a set of challenges that are associated with the management of digital identity, mainly in relation to the compliance and governance of personnel data in order to eliminate privacy and security risks.
