The aim of this research is to find a solution for location privacy protection in
the Internet of Thing network and especially in the problem of source location privacy
problem. As nowadays, privacy in cyber world stimulate a stake, with many
regulations and rules to get implemented in order to protect personal data and privacy
of individuals, we tried to give a solution to a specific type of this problem, in terms of
Privacy by design. We tried to reach our goal, starting from a really detailed
comparison between the Internet of Things network and its predecessor Wireless
Sensor Networks. We came up with three new features that the Internet of Things
network provides, which are mobility, energy consumption and outside connectivity
and then by adding them to the already existing solutions for source location privacy
in Wireless Sensor Networks, we assumed that these protocols are not able to be
implemented in the Internet of Things network on their current form. So, we created
a new version of the Phantom Routing Protocol for the Internet of Things, which was
firstly designed for Wireless Sensor Networks. Although, there is enough work to be
done, we think that Phantom Routing Protocol for the Internet of Things is a good start
for the design and implementation of solutions that protect privacy in the Internet of
Things from the beginning of use of this new technology, in order to avoid privacy and
personal data violation.
