Privacy-Preserving IoT Data Collection System for Smart Homes

The objective of this project is to design a privacy-preserving IoT data collection system for smart homes. The system ensures sensitive user activity and appliance usage data are anonymized while enabling smart home automation and analytics.

Study IoT devices, sensors, and smart home architectures.

Analyze privacy risks in IoT data collection.

Design a system that collects IoT device data securely.

Implement data anonymization techniques for sensitive sensor information.

Encrypt data before transmission to cloud servers.

Implement role-based access for family members and administrators.

Test data collection with multiple IoT devices in a simulated smart home environment.

Evaluate privacy protection versus data utility for automation purposes.

Monitor for unauthorized access or data leakage.

Document system performance and possible enhancements.

Discuss real-world deployment challenges.
