Smart home has brought convenience to people's lives, but the potential privacy issues has become a hazard. Smart appliances will be sending personal information to an Enterprise Server, which in enterprise storage and share user information as consumers have no control is used. Today, networking equipment from the most intimate space in our lives to collect data. Without proper protection, smart appliances all collected data will be integrated, and businessmen profit, is to hackers. Therefore, to develop a strong and legally enforceable regulation is necessary to ensure the protection of personal information. YSL iPhone 5 Case
Intelligent hardware is pervasive in our lives
Internet of things, though still in its infancy, but many products have already generated a lot of information. According to Cisco's data show that by the end of last year, has been nearly 109 million pieces in the world wearable device using monthly also has millions of gigabytes of data, and that this number is surging. In the arms race to control Internet, start-ups and established technology company's investment is enormous.
Google's recent acquisition of Nest temperature regulator, Dropcam intelligent home security camera company, and central control equipment manufacturer Revolv. In March this year, Amazon also announced its Dash project. Install Wi-Fi throughout the user simply pressing the home control button, automatically order the brand of household necessities. Amazon has combined with device manufacturers such as whirlpool, ready to put the technology into its product-order the detergent-washing machine you can own!
In addition to spending money means enterprises will even provide incentives for consumers, hoping that this would enable them to share their personal data on the smart device. John Hancock insurance company life insurance new policyholders a free gift every Fitbit smart bracelet, and plan to discount the health information of Exchange users. Although some of the companies in the sale of smart devices will undertake not to collect data for advertising and promotion, but due to lack of management systems, this can be changed at any time.
What information should remain in the Internet device? What information can be posted online? For consumers, which they are not very clear. When catch once disclosed, the fact would be shocking. Mattel has announced plans to introduce a new, called "Hello Barbie" doll, this smart toys may in the case of Wi-Fi networking, dialogue with the child through a remote server. Parents strongly protested this, of course, subsequent petitions to prevent toy manufacturers smart toys have emerged.
Consumers may not be worried about being intelligent hardware monitoring, but they need to know whether they are being watched, need to be aware of the use of collected data. But for the vast majority of people, determine if the intelligence behind what is happening is very difficult.
Privacy policy is basically useless
Appliance does not have a privacy policy before that, but now Internet appliances was accompanied by a large number of users require granting legal terms. Of course, consumers shouldn't read our privacy policy to see if the smart device to track their personal data, but if the user has read the policies you will find that they are actually hard to interpret.
Networking hardware of many privacy policy is vague, and confusing and incomplete, there is no sound legal protection, users in these intelligent privacy protection depends to a large degree on the hardware manufacturers can set policy. Rules on small simple words describe the enterprise's commitment to your data, while the practical effect of these commitments is very weak. Once before the media exposure, LG and Samsung's smart TV conversations of users in their transfer to a third party, and this is the TV producer of unilateral technical facilities.
High-end TV sets now is one of the characteristics of voice control, but the TV itself and does not have a built-in capacity to perform complex speech recognition. So when users initiate voice controlled remote control button is pressed, the recorded voice will be sent to another company, this same technology and Apple's Siri voice Assistant. These facts are not showing a clear explanation in the policy, although Samsung clarifying its privacy policy after the sticky, but the technology still maintains the same function.
Even more frightening is that many smart TV manufacturers under the TV set will automatically monitor and identify consumers through watch the screen image, or even the user's own play the DVD were not spared. These TVs will send data to watch even the users rarely heard of companies, such as cognitive networking company and Enswers company. The use of these data collection company and user data is not taboo, such as cognitive companies openly described on its official website a way of doing business. They promised the TV content providers, advertising by providing its consumers with more opportunities to increase their profits. Market each TV that uses a cognitive technology, for TV manufacturers to produce sustainable benefits. YSL iPhone 5 Case
In other words, the TV manufacturers in addition to selling will make a copy of the TV money, monitor user content and sent to the user customized ads can earn a share of the money, will watch the data packages to advertisers and content providers can earn a share of the money. Simply put, everyone was making money, only if the user did not make money.
Intelligent hardware lacks the necessary protection
Even if companies don't put user data, they also consumer privacy at risk, stored on a company Server user habits and behavioral profiles have suffered data breaches may, and intelligent hardware itself is vulnerable to hacker attacks. Hewlett Packard HP Fortify on Demand launched security operations in the last year, 10 Internet of things products, including smart TV, smart locks and smart home alarms, and so on. Results showed that 8 of which does not require complex passwords, there are 7 types of data cannot be encrypted when, 6 kinds of device user interfaces are insecure, outsiders can easily reset the password.
Although the instigators, black Internet hardware requires a great deal of patience and expertise. But hackers will share information, once the weakness of intelligent household appliances are exposed, any professional skills of a master a small number of people can repeat black many times. Intelligent hardware manufacturers should draw lessons from the computer industry, is the premise of excellent digital safety alert. As new threats emerge, manufacturers also need to their products making security updates.
In view of the Internet has penetrated into people's private space, such as home automation, connectivity and trend of wearable device commonly used sensors in the field in product design in the process of with respect to the hardware inside security is particularly important. At a time when privacy laws is not yet ready for Internet users currently have their own technology and shaping the future--to buy their own products at reasonable, when hardware is wrong, and loudly expressed their view. As the Internet expands and the change of policy, most consumer protection is the consumer himself.
