Concepts
Before start talking about the relationship between these 4 concepts: Internet of Things, Big Data, Mobility
and Data Privacy it is necessary to do a short definition of them: (all definitions come from Wikipedia)
Internet of Things: Called simply “IoT” and sometimes “Internet of things and services” is the
interconnection of uniquely identifiable embedded computing devices within the existing Internet
infrastructure. The interconnection of these embedded devices, in the near future, is expected to usher
in automation in nearly ALL fields.
Big Data: Is a broad term for data sets so large or complex that traditional data processing applications
are inadequate. Include analysis, capture, data curation, search, sharing, storage, transfer, visualization,
and information privacy.
Mobility: Concept in relation with Mobile computing. Is a human–computer interaction by which a
computer is expected to be transported during normal usage. Mobile computing involves mobile
communication, mobile hardware, and mobile software.
Data Privacy: Data privacy, Information privacy or data protection, is the relationship between
collection and dissemination of data, technology, the public expectation of privacy, and the legal and
political issues surrounding them.

The relationship between these 4 concepts
In this presentation the focus is on the relationship between 4 concepts: Internet of Things, Big Data,
Mobility and Data Privacy
We can also think about these 4 concepts in these terms:
Nowadays, and even more in the future, Internet of Things, Big Data and Mobility will be present (they are
already now) in our personal and professional life. The more these concepts grow, the more risk we are
assuming about misuse of our privacy data, so more effort we will need to do to improve our privacy.
We can do a resume of the actual/future status like this:
Internet of Things and/or Big Data and/or Mobility Data Privacy

Internet of Things and Privacy Data
Internet of Things definitely is a big relationship between physical World and virtual World.
In the future (already now) the extensive use of our data in this new “virtual World” causes a huge risk of
misuse of our private data.
There are some uses of Internet of Things:
Environmental Monitoring
Energy Management
Infrastructure Management
Industrial Applications
Building and Home Automation
Transport Systems
Large Scale Deployments
Medical and Healthcare Systems

Big Data and Privacy Data
Big Data is a broad term for data sets so large or complex that traditional data processing applications are
inadequate, including analysis and so many actions including information privacy.
In the future (already now) the use of our data in Big data analysis environments will causes a huge risk of
misuse of our private data (examples: sale database, hacking attacks which produce data leaks).
There are some actions done in Big Data:
Data Analysis
Capture of data
Data curation
Search of data
Data sharing
Data storage
Data transfer
Data visualization
Information privacy use

Mobility and Privacy Data
Mobility or Mobile computing have almost an infinite list of uses of our data doing data processing, data
sharing, data transfer, data publishing, etc. using Apps in our smart phones, tablets and other mobile
devices, wearables to manage all these data, including also critical privacy data in e-Health applications.
Apps installed in our mobile devices do too many actions including access to our privacy data. Protect our
privacy seems to be impossible without knowing the IT security controls all these Apps have applied (who
knows what all these Apps do with our data?).
Think for a moment about pacemakers and defibrillators connected to Internet and a huge number of
telemedicine devices, many of them with patient data.

Mobility and Privacy Data (continue)
Some big risks are:
1. Hacking data leak in our mobile devices
2. Sale database
3. Vulnerabilities into Apps code which create IT security threats
In the future (already now) an extensive use of our data in mobile computing environments will causes a
huge risk of misuse of our private data.

Conclusions
We can easily think that Internet of Things, Big Data and Mobility will give us a big number of problems
about our privacy, some of them with big impact (in virtual and real world).
It is clear that we are “opening” many doors (too many?) to give opportunities to do a misuse of our data and
maybe we can also think all it is not logical because it is an attitude with too much risk appetite.
In one hand maybe all this reasoning is right, but in the other hand, we can not stop this 4th Industrial
Revolution so we need to live with it and to do as much improvement as possible to protect our Data from
misuse, unauthorized access, etc.
