This thesis deals with the need for privacy that has arisen from the rapid development and
application of new technologies in all areas of our lives and especially in their use in smart
cities, which are developing rapidly. Many of them around the world have launched and
adopted technologies that improve the daily lives and living standards of their citizens while
enhancing education, economy, environmental protection, quality of public transport, and
medical care. However, many smart cities have not fully embraced the methods that define a
city as “smart”, as they lack the necessary means, such as proper design, networking
structure, storing large amounts of data, etc. For this reason, as in many other technological
areas, in smart cities, there are frequent breaches, which aim either to steal data and damage
the proper functioning of these systems or to cause moral or economic damage. The
following paper analyses smart cities, present the fundamentals of privacy, discusses the
challenges that arise with the emergence of smart cities, and identifies ways to eliminate the
breach of personal data.
