Brussels – The European Commission published the final report from workshop on Internet of Things Privacy and Security that took place 13 January 2017. The report reflects the main findings on minimum IoT privacy and security principles to create a trusted IoT environment. The results of this workshop in above mentioned four domains show an aggregated 30 minimum baseline principles regarding either security or privacy in IoT, or both, and of which numerous overlap cross-sectorial. These 30 principles also show that even though the four domains chosen are quite different from each other, the concerns and related main principles are actually applicable in each of the four domains.
Furthermore, the discussions during the workshop showed a clear need to identify, structure, understand and to address life cycles, including: IoT device/product life cycle, stakeholders life cycle, data life cycle, and contextual life cycle.
