Descripción
Sumario:The development of new technologies has introduced the concept of Ubiquitous Computing, whereby the objects around us can have an embedded computer and establish communications with each other, in order to provide personalized services to assist with our tasks. However, because it is possible to have computers almost anywhere and within any object, this has opened up new discussions on issues such as privacy and security, considered from many different views, such as the legal, social, economic and technological development perspectives, all taking an increasingly significant importance in today’s world. In this dissertation we discuss and analyze some of the main privacy and security issues in current technologies, such as smartphones, RFIDs or smart cities, and we propose some protocols in order to face these issues guarantying users' privacy anytime.
