Overview of Five Techniques Used for Security and Privacy Insurance in Smart Cities

Abstract

Digitization and technological transformation in providing various services have become a goal for many countries in light of the current digital revolution to implement the concept of a smart city. Given the great importance of the smart city concept by researchers, the overriding concern is how to maintain data security and user privacy. These two criteria can or directly represent the strengths and weaknesses of such technology projects. This paper included a comprehensive study of the smart city, its concept and components. The research also included a detailed study of the most important applications included in smart city services and their working mechanisms and uses. The diversity of applications and services provided under the smart city environment is proof of the importance of this model. The paper also reviewed the security risks of data in all stages of work, data collection, data transfer and processing. Finally, the paper reviewed the five most important technologies used in a smart city to maintain information security and data privacy, their advantages, their internal methodology and algorithms. In the end, this paper aims to give a clear picture of all the details of the smart city and the technologies used for the purpose of ensuring information security and data privacy.

IoT-Enabled Smart Cities: A Review of Security Frameworks, Privacy, Risks and Key Technologies

“…Smart City Applications central analysis, data consists of real-time data combined with a set of archived historical data. After it is issued, the final decision is transmitted to the appropriate entities [4]. Figure 1 shows some smart city applications.…”

“…Using data from cameras, satellites, drones, parking sensors, and other multimedia, a comprehensive view of city transportation is provided, allowing for real-time tracking of passing traffic and a new routing algorithm to improve energy efficiency and route stability. Additionally, Drivers can also receive advance notice before entering the parking area by using the smart parking system [4][5][6].…”

“…Cloud-based information system services should support the need for sustainable governance of facilities in smart cities. [4,6].…”
