Marco Hecktor, Andreas Diepenbrock, Sabine Sachweh · 2023
This paper presents an approach for developing an interoperable and privacy-respecting smart city data ecosystem. We propose an architecture that enables companies to share data securely and efficiently, while also respecting the privacy rights of individuals. The architecture employs a public key infrastructure to ensure the authenticity and integrity of data exchange. We also provide an exemplary user workflow to demonstrate the application of the architecture. Future research could focus on extending the privacy mechanisms and implementing rule-based filters for data processing.
