Abstract Urban development toward smart city implementation creates new potential alongside numerous technical difficulties because of Internet of Things (IoT) systems integration. Smart cities accomplish such enhancements through IoT devices that efficiently control resources like energy along with water supply and transportation services. The connected systems produce substantial life-quality improvements for residents because they provide immediate data acquisition along with detailed insight into collected information. IoT devices used extensively create major privacy problems for users. Apart from the massive amount of data from surveillance cameras to smart meters there exists risk of exploitation by unwelcome actors because of inadequate data protection measures. The design process of smart cities should combine IoT capabilities with privacy preservation as its main priority.
Secure privacy technology stands as an essential requirement to handle current privacy-related matters. Hazardous information protection in smart cities becomes possible through implementation of data anonymization and edge computing and differential privacy security strategies. The processing of data through edge computing happens near the source which decreases the quantity of personal information that needs transmission to central servers. Datasets become more secure for individual defense when anonymization techniques are applied because they hide personal identities. The deployment of strict access controls together with encryption protocols enables IoT network security expansion which reduces threats to both data protection and surveillance monitoring. Both privacy protection benefits citizens along with the development of trust in smart city programs.
Advancements in IoT security do not eliminate the major threat that adversaries pose. Thieves operating in cyberspace keep inventing new forms of attack to discover and take advantage of gaps in IoT devices. Multiple cyber attacks consisting of DDoS and data poisoning methods and unauthorized system intrusions create serious operational disruptions and endanger personal data security in smart city infrastructure. A security breach in any single IoT system poses the risk that it will trigger multiple network failures across the entire interconnected network. Smart cities need an active cybersecurity method that includes permanent system monitoring and hostile element detection together with response plans for security events. Collaboration between technology providers and city officials and law enforcement agencies allows communities to develop strong smart city infrastructure that protects public security together with private information throughout the city.
