Abstract

Technology has been infused in smart city service delivery with the intention of improving the living standards of its citizens. Many governments in both developing and developed world are investing more its ideology. Smart city operations relay on collection of data processing and evaluating it in order to enable informed decision making. With huge collection of big data by sensors and other smart devices fitted in cities the challenge currently faced is how to guarantee security and privacy of data. Data faces a number of threats ranging from leakage, observation, repurposed use, misuse, unauthorized access, and duplication among others. Researchers have been advancing the algorithms that will guarantee security of innocent users and ensure the safety and privacy of their data. In this paper we have carried an investigation to measure the empirical awareness of citizens concerning privacy and security issues during data collection in smart cities; we report and analyze the findings.
