Call for Papers
Nowadays, we can get various kinds of IoT home appliances such as LED lights, refrigerators, laundry machines, door locks, health care devices, security cameras, and so on. They connect to network and cloud. Its web portal and API gives a service to the users. It is convenient and attractive. However, It is possible that the more convenient you get, the lower security level you have. The same things are true for SNS. Careless uploading of your photos would leak your privacy information such as habitat, work place, and a way of contact. Even if you carefully do something, there is a possibility for your privacy leaking. Facebook problems would be the biggest concern in the recent IT industry. We must study key technologies or frameworks for network privacy. Decentralized SNS such as Mastodon, blockchain mechanism, Web Authentication as well as data mining would be hot topics in this technology field.
