Systems that deal with personal data always bring privacy and security issues. And also the balance of these issues, with the need that persons have in interact with spaces in a transparent way, and that those spaces smartly adapt to their preferences. That said, in this project, is proposed a solution to overcome these issues, and don’t compromise the balance between security and personal comfort. Currently IoT systems are in a big security risk. Especially because the developers, are not worried enough about the safety of such systems. However, with the growing trend of such systems and is integration in our everyday lives, this concern will have to increase as they start to appear isolated cases which have harmed the users, both financially and in their safety and welfare. This project, deals with the actual problem of secure an IoT system. Namely using secure techniques to secure a Smart Environment System. This work wants to promote a balanced solution between the need of personal information and the user’s privacy expectations. We propose a solution based on requiring the minimal information possible, together with techniques to anonymize and disassociate the preferences from the users. The proposed security architecture, to one of these IoT systems, wants to avoid any of the presented risks, to the users of this system.
