Smart City Security and Privacy and Coping Strategies: A Critical Review
Abstract
In the era of information openness and the constant, urgent need for information, an integrated lifestyle has emerged in terms of methods and approaches. This has led to the development of several new concepts based on information and knowledge, the most important of which are the knowledge economy and smart cities, where information is considered the backbone of these concepts. With the evolution of the smart city concept and the increasing number of users and investors from both governments and individuals, security breaches and privacy attacks have escalated, thereby increasing the need to enhance the security and privacy of smart cities to ensure their sustainability and continuity in serving humanity and simplifying ways of life.
Through a literature review approach, several recent scientific papers discussing the security and privacy of smart cities and confrontation strategies have been analyzed. These studies have led to several findings, most notably that the concept of smart cities is still relatively new and in a growth phase globally, and its implementation relies heavily on information and data protection. There is also a noticeable scarcity of technical models and proposed solutions to enhance information security and privacy in smart cities. As the expansion and development of smart cities continue, the need for information security and privacy becomes increasingly critical.
Additionally, there is currently no ideal model for smart cities that can serve as a reference in academic studies and scientific research. It is essential, amid this expansion, to build user and investor trust by adopting new and updated methods and approaches to protect the security and privacy of smart cities. Moreover, leveraging technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT) and blockchain for secure data transmission and protection, and integrating them effectively, is crucial to enhancing the security and privacy of smart cities.
