Abstract :
There is a critical need to provide privacy assurances for distributed vision-based sensor networking in applications such as building surveillance and healthcare monitoring. To effectively address protection and reliability issues, secure networking and processing must be considered from system inception. This paper presents attacks that affect the data privacy in visual sensor networks and proposes privacy-promoting security solutions based on opponent detection via game-theoretic analysis and keyless encryption.
