Preservando a Privacidade na Internet das Coisas com Pseudônimos Usando SDN
Abstract
Internet of Things devices usually capture information about their users, generating several privacy risks. Observers can infer information about their victims from the addresses of IoT devices. In this paper, we present a pseudo-anonymization solution based on Software-Defined Networking that hides IoT addresses. We evaluate this solution with real IoT traffic from a variety of devices. The results show that the proposed solution contributes to improving the privacy of IoT users. Hypothesis tests based on the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test attest that the impact on the communication performance generated by the solution is negligible.
