@ARTICLE{10.21494/ISTE.OP.2018.0227, TITLE={Pretopology and privacy protection in the Internet of Things}, AUTHOR={Samuel Szoniecky, Amri Toumia, }, JOURNAL={Internet of Things}, VOLUME={2}, NUMBER={Issue 1}, YEAR={2018}, URL={http://www.openscience.fr/Pretopology-and-privacy-protection-in-the-Internet-of-Things}, DOI={10.21494/ISTE.OP.2018.0227}, ISSN={2514-8273}, ABSTRACT={The article presents a way to represent privacy in the context of the Internet of Things via diagrams. Using pretopology, we study how to create a graphical and conceptual organization of privacy that can allow its parameterization by manipulation of the graphical elements of the diagram. In the first part of this article, we define what privacy is and we present important work that deals with this topic. Then, we present some concepts of pretopology and we detail the interest in using it for our modelling. In the second part, we study the modelling of privacy in the Internet of Things by using the example of a smart watch. Finally, we conclude by discussing future work from this article.}}
