“…Many IoT components contain sensors connected to communicators, which is the root of the data breach problem. A webcam, speaker or other sensing devices, for instance, can gather up government data from the environment and communicate it to a remote location, such as the internet or a proprietary server (Lipford et al , 2022). There have previously been several examples in which smart electronics (such as televisions) have transferred data collected from people's homes and offices back to the company's servers without the users' consent.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to highlight the drivers, barriers, benefits and risks affecting the integration of Internet of Things (IoT) into the e-government and to provide a future research agenda. Design/methodology/approach Existing literature examining the relationships between e-government and IoT is scanned and evaluated by conceptualizing the IoT concept in the e-government perspective. Findings The study shows that there are drivers to integrate IoT in e-government, such as ensuring the economy, efficiency and effectiveness of government operations, which would largely establish a relationship between the government and the citizens. Furthermore, there are barriers to such integration, given the lack of political will, the appropriate information technology infrastructure, the training of the stakeholders with a focus on the employee and the like. Originality/value The integration of IoT in e-government is a novel and weakly explored concept, particularly in the light of new advances such as blockchain in the e-government, which requires further exploration and conceptualization, thereby achieving a shared/common vision and body of knowledge for its further successful and sustainable adoption – to the best of the authors’ knowledge, the current study is one of these initial attempts.

“…For example, in their investigation of trust in the cybersecurity-preserving capabilities of smart home devices, Cannizzaro et al [3] revealed how anxiety about the likelihood of a security incident in IoT for the home, emerged as a statistically significant factor influencing the adoption of smart home technology. Lipford et al [18] outlined how IoT technologies introduce challenging privacy issues that may frustrate their widespread adoption, whereas Guhr et al [19] emphasize how privacy concerns directly and indirectly influence the intended smart home usage.…”

In this article, we investigate the privacy and security challenges of the smart home as perceived by the industry, with findings relating to cybersecurity awareness, transparency on legal data use, malicious data use, regulation issues, liability, and market incentives for cybersecurity; we also reveal how the industry has been responding to these challenges. Based on survey findings, we outlined a series of socio-technical challenges to smart home adoption. To understand these findings in more depth, we investigated qualitatively how these challenges were perceived and responded to by organizations in the Internet of Things (IoT) sector. We interviewed seven experts from six organizations involved in the design, development, or review of consumer IoT devices and services including both businesses and NGOs. Thematic analysis focused on two main themes, that is, responses to privacy and responses to security challenges of smart home adoption. Our study revealed that industry stakeholders are looking to address these adoption challenges by providing new technical solutions to mitigate the privacy and security risk of the smart home, producing new standards and influencing regulation, as well as building up communities of learning surrounding common issues. With this knowledge, industry stakeholders can take steps toward increasing smart home acceptability for consumers.

“…For example, medical, surveillance, energy, and other data collected by IoT sensors are stored in the cloud [12,90]. While storing IoT data in the cloud has benefits, such as data analysis and classifications, outsourcing data to the cloud introduces privacy risks and can lead to losing control over the device [71,98]. Researchers suggest implementing access control mechanisms to secure cloud data [71,98].…”

The balance between protecting user privacy while providing cost-effective devices that are functional and usable is a key challenge in the burgeoning Internet of Things (IoT). While in traditional desktop and mobile contexts, the primary user interface is a screen, in IoT devices, screens are rare or very small, invalidating many existing approaches to protecting user privacy. Privacy visualisations are a common approach for assisting users in understanding the privacy implications of web and mobile services. To gain a thorough understanding of IoT privacy, we examine existing web, mobile, and IoT visualisation approaches. Following that, we define five major privacy factors in the IoT context: (i) type, (ii) usage, (iii) storage, (iv) retention period, and (v) access. We then describe notification methods used in various contexts as reported in the literature. We aim to highlight key approaches that developers and researchers can use for creating effective IoT privacy notices that improve user privacy management (awareness and control). Using a toolkit, a use case scenario, and two examples from the literature, we demonstrate how privacy visualisation approaches can be supported in practice.
