Abstract

With the flourishing and advancement of the IoT, the smart city has become an emerging paradigm, consisting of ubiquitous sensing, heterogeneous network infrastructure, and intelligent information processing and control systems. A smart city can monitor the physical world in real time, and provide intelligent services to both local residents and travelers in terms of transportation, healthcare, environment, entertainment, and energy. However, security and privacy concerns arise, since smart city applications not only collect a wide range of privacy-sensitive information from people and their social circles, but also control city facilities and influence people’s lives. In this article, we investigate security and privacy in smart city applications. Specifically, we first introduce promising smart city applications and architecture. Then we discuss several security and privacy challenges in these applications. Some research efforts are subsequently presented to address these security and privacy challenges for intelligent healthcare, transportation, and smart energy. Finally, we point out some open issues for future research.

Introduction

With the rising economy and social transformation, people have been moving from the country to cities, resulting in the largest wave of urbanization throughout the world. By 2030, the urban population is estimated to reach 5 billion (about 60 percent of the world population), which produces massive opportunities for the economic and social development of cities [1]. Due to the ever growing demands of local residents, the development of fundamental infrastructure and policies are not correspondingly ensured. Moreover, this unplanned and overly fast urban growth brings excessive burdens to climate, energy, the environment, and even living. These problems slow down the sustainable development of urban cities as a consequence. To mitigate the problems of rapid urbanization, it is urgent to improve governance and service delivery, offer swift seamless mobility, and achieve easy access to urban public facilities, affordable housing, quality healthcare, education, and living in highly populated areas [2]. A special spotlight is needed, covering urbanization trends in innovative management of urban operations and a variety of “smart” services to local residents, visitors, and the government to satisfy the ever increasing and diverse demands [3]. The advancement and flourishing of the smart city shed light on materializing these value-added services and tackling the problems of urbanization.
