Open security and privacy challenges for the Internet of Things

Internet of things (IoT) is a quickly rising paradigm that covers an important set of technologies that are expected to be the next information revolution. IoT is closely connected with people, therefore privacy and security are major issues. In this paper, we summarize current open challenges and present our position on future research directions. We suggest to borrow the "peer approval" scheme from social networks and establish a centralized system for user privacy control.
