Privacy Tactics and Patterns for IoT

In software engineering, a design pattern is a general reusable solution to a commonly occurring problem within a given context in software design. A design pattern is not a finished design that can be transformed directly into source or machine code.

Privacy Tactics - Tactics are design decisions that improve individual quality attribute (i.e., Privacy) concerns [Basic building blocks].

Privacy Patterns - Patterns describe the high-level structure and behaviour of software systems as the solution to multiple system requirements [Complex Compositions].

This project aims to extract privacy tactics and privacy patterns that can be used to common challenges in IoT applications. The objective is to create rich design space for software designers so they can efficiently and effectively design privacy aware IoT application. This project also explore common privacy enhancing techniques and the possibility of encapsulating them into privacy tactics and patterns.
