物联网（IoT）越来越多地影响日常生活，因为越来越多的物理设备连接到互联网。目前，互联网的重点是通过人与人或人与机器的交互向用户提供信息。最近技术的巨大发展，加上全球化的增加，使得向物联网的过渡成为可能。这使得智能传感器和物理设备能够在没有人类参与的情况下进行机器对机器的通信。物联网的兴起不可避免地需要考虑相关的安全和隐私风险。物联网安全问题几乎每天都有报道，专家们担心局势失去控制[1]。随着未来越来越多可识别的物理对象被连接起来，这些问题肯定会增加：连接的对象越多，网络就越脆弱。这项研究的目的是确定和调查如何保护物联网，特别强调为物联网环境制定隐私政策框架。

The Internet of Things (IoT) is increasingly affecting daily life as a result of the growing number of physical devices connected to the internet. Currently the internet is focused on providing information to the user by either Human to Human or Human to Machine interaction. The recent enormous developments in technology, together with the increase in globalization, have enabled the transition to IoT. This allows smart sensors and physical devices to communicate without human involvement, on a Machine to Machine basis.The rise of IoT inevitably requires consideration of the related security and privacy risks. IoT security concerns are reported almost daily, and experts are concerned about control of the situation being lost [1]. These issues are bound to increase as ever more identifiable physical objects become linked in the future: the more objects that are connected the more vulnerable a network becomes. The aim of this research is to identify and investigate how IoT can be secured, with particular emphasis on the development of a privacy policy framework for Internet of Things environment.
