Data Ownership & Trust in the IoT

The document discusses issues of data ownership and trust in the Internet of Things. It notes that while IoT devices can provide benefits like maintenance, distribution and cost reduction, users may not truly have control over their data which is often sent to clouds without a trusted point of collection or way to share data. There is also a lack of proper legislation regarding IoT data ownership. It promotes a project called AGILE IoT that has created a testbed of over 2,500 sensor nodes to help address these issues of data ownership and trust in IoT systems.
