Abstract:
The Internet of Things environment poses many problems of technological, socio-technical and legal nature. Many efforts have been made to solve the several technical challenges and issues arising from the peculiar characteristics of IoT devices, but none of them seems to be decisive at present. Moreover, the user's behaviour is almost always excluded from the premises of these approaches, causing them to be systematically weak towards non-proactive attitudes of end users. In particular, the relationship between risk awareness and the attitude towards privacy preserving behaviours seems to be undervalued. Outside of that, the centralized system on which common Internet devices work is not suitable in the IoT environment, asking for decentralized methods. Referring to the principles of the General Data Protection Regulation UE/679/2016 may be the key to a global approach to both the technical and non-technical challenges that the IoT environment presents. The objective of the paper is to delimit the problem's contours, as they emerge from the analysed technical, legal and sociological contributions, and therefore to propose an optimization of the management strategies for the protection of personal data in the Internet of Things ecosystem.
