Abstract: Throughout the current and future worldwide Web network infrastructure, the notion of the Internet of Things (IoT) foresees the pervasive interconnection and cooperation of intelligent things. As such, the IoT is simply the next logical step in the expansion of the Web into the real world, ushering in a plethora of unique services that will enhance people's lives, give rise to entirely new economic sectors and smarten up the physical infrastructure upon which we rely, including buildings, cities and transportation networks. As smart devices permit widespread information collection or tracking, the IoT will not be able to reach its full potential if the vision for the IoT is not implemented appropriately. These helpful characteristics are countered by concerns over confidentiality, which have, to date, hindered the viability of IoT aspirations. In the face of widespread surveillance, the management of private information and the development of tools to limit or evade pervasive monitoring and analysis are two examples of the new difficulties brought about by such dangers. This paper considers the privacy concerns raised by the Internet of Things in depth.
