Smart city projects stand out for including a wide array of communication systems and heterogeneous technologies operated by multiple entities that collect data from citizens in very different ways. Basically, these projects involve three main actors that may have conflicting interests regarding the ownership and exploitation of the generated data: public administrations, service providers and citizens. Nevertheless, this is not a new problem. Actually, the most popular communication systems on the Internet, such as social networks, often have issues of this kind that can become highly visible in the press, especially when service providers, who commonly store data generated by their users via centralized models, have a security issue leading to a massive data leak, or when providers take advantage of their dominant position to exploit data improperly or sell it to third parties. This paper proposes an architecture to create user-centric data management applications for communications in smart cities where data is stored and managed in a decentralized way to reduce dependency on service providers and return control of the data to the different actors involved in the communications. In this paper, a proof of concept of the proposed architecture is implemented, using Ethereum and the InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) as the main tools, to demonstrate its feasibility, show concrete protocols, and discuss the proposal on an empirical basis.

SocialBlock:用于智能城市中进行通信的分散用户中心数据管理应用程序的体系结构

智慧城市项目脱颖而出,因为它包括由多个实体运营的多种通信系统和异构技术,这些实体以截然不同的方式从市民那里收集数据。基本上,这些项目涉及三个主要参与者,它们可能对生成的数据的所有权和利用有利益冲突:公共行政部门,服务提供商和公民。但是,这不是一个新问题。实际上,互联网上最流行的通信系统(例如社交网络)通常会遇到此类问题,在媒体上会变得非常明显,特别是当通常存储其用户通过集中式模型生成的数据的服务提供商拥有安全问题导致大量数据泄漏,或提供商利用其优势地位不当利用数据或将其出售给第三方时。本文提出了一种体系结构,该体系结构可为智能城市中的通信创建以用户为中心的数据管理应用程序,在智能城市中,数据以分散的方式进行存储和管理,以减少对服务提供商的依赖,并将数据的控制权返回给通信中涉及的不同参与者。本文以以太坊和行星际文件系统(IPFS)为主要工具,对所提出的架构进行了概念验证,以证明其可行性,展示具体协议并在实证基础上讨论该提议。本文提出了一种体系结构,该体系结构可为智能城市中的通信创建以用户为中心的数据管理应用程序,在智能城市中,数据以分散的方式进行存储和管理,以减少对服务提供商的依赖,并将数据的控制权返回给通信中涉及的不同参与者。本文以以太坊和行星际文件系统(IPFS)为主要工具,对所提出的架构进行了概念验证,以证明其可行性,展示具体协议并在实证基础上讨论该提议。本文提出了一种体系结构,该体系结构可为智能城市中的通信创建以用户为中心的数据管理应用程序,在智能城市中,数据以分散的方式进行存储和管理,以减少对服务提供商的依赖,并将数据的控制权返回给通信中涉及的不同参与者。本文以以太坊和行星际文件系统(IPFS)为主要工具,对所提出的架构进行了概念验证,以证明其可行性,展示具体协议并在实证基础上讨论该提议。
