The Internet of Things (IoT) is the concept that everyday devices are connected to the Internet generating data about us and the world around us. With the number of devices connected directly to the Internet expected to be three times the number of people by 2020, the potential for a reduction in personal privacy is evident. This research fills a gap in the literature by conducting a quantitative analysis of people’s privacy preferences as it relates to the IoT. Our findings provide potential guidance to practitioners in their IoT architectural design and increase our understanding of privacy preference overall.

隐私和物联网-离散选择的实验

物联网（IoT）是每天将设备连接到Internet并生成有关我们和我们周围世界的数据的概念。到2020年，直接连接到Internet的设备数量预计将是人数的三倍，减少个人隐私的潜力显而易见。这项研究通过对与物联网相关的人们的隐私偏好进行定量分析，填补了文献中的空白。我们的发现为物联网架构设计的从业人员提供了潜在的指导，并加深了我们对整体隐私偏好的理解。
