N2 - The long-heralded Internet of Things (IoT) is finally becoming a reality. From factories and the ubiquitous Internet-connected fridge, we now see heating control systems, cars, dishwashers, and all manner of common-place devices being connected. While this has certainly realized new capabilities, such as the ability to control one's domestic heating remotely, the benefits are perhaps more mixed: every device that we can remotely control is a device that someone else can remotely hack. And that is just the devices the literal things; in tandem we also see increasing intrusion of Internet-connectivity into services, practices and everyday infrastructures such as transport and retail. Coupled with the increasingly invasive deployment of these devices into everyday lives, the result is a substantial increase in threats to privacy arising from the IoT.
