The Internet of Things (IoT) is considered one of the emerging technologies in
the area of information technology. The use of this technology provides an improvement to the population by providing better transportation systems, health
and electrical infrastructure, among others. However, collecting information in
these spaces can cause serious damage to the user’s privacy, which is one of
the challenges to be overcome by IoT. In some scenarios, the user may provide
personal information without being aware of the risks to their privacy. Cryptographic primitives with a high computational cost are used to maintain the
privacy of users in IoT environments, but they are not applicable to all devices
due to their heterogeneity. In this context, this work proposes a mechanism
of preservation of privacy that aims to mediate the information exchanges that
occur in IoT environments. This proposal was based on a research done with
users that aimed to validate the characteristics and functionalities of a mechanism with these objectives. The privacy preservation mechanism was developed
as an application to provide ease in user interaction with IoT environments. The
validation of the application was performed by an experiment with the users,
where they were submitted to several IoT scenarios. The results show that, with
the use of the mechanism, users feel more comfortable with the availability of
their data in these environments. The learning process of application privacy
preferences obtained a success rate of 88.62% in the predicted scenarios and
is considered satisfactory for decision making procedures for the provision of
personal information.
