Fine-grained Access Control Enabling Privacy Support in Wireless Sensor Networks (Extended Abstract)

The deployment of wireless sensor networks may endanger the privacy of people monitored on purpose or unintentionally. To enhance the control of the surveilled people over their privacy, we propose to introduce a fine-grained access control scheme on monitored data. Towards this end, we design an architecture relying on granular access control and filtering of relevant information, which can be easily integrated with existing wireless sensor networks.
