Data Security and Challenges in Smart Cities

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Security in Smart Cities: Models, Applications, and Challenges

Abstract

Day by day cities become more intelligence because governments move slowly to convert each thing to become smarter. These cities are built with the goal of increasing liveability, safety, revivification, and sustainability by building smart services like smart education, smart government, smart mobility, smart homes and e-health but it is important to build these services along with the method for securing and maintaining the privacy of citizen’s data. Citizens can build their own services that meet their requirements and needs. This book chapter discusses the internet of things and its applications in smart cities then discusses smart cities and challenge that faces smart cities and describes how to protect citizen data by securing the WiFi based data transmission system that encrypts and encodes data before transfer from source to destination where the data is finally decrypted and decoded. The proposed system is embedded with authentication method to help the authorized people to access the data. The proposed system first compresses data with run-length encoding technique then encrypt it using the AES method but with a rotated key then the source transfers the encoded and encrypted data to the destination where the data is decrypted then decoded to restore the original data then the original data is upload to the destination’s website.
