M-Sec EU and Japanese citizens and stakeholders online consultation
M-Sec (www.msecproject.eu) was born in July 2018, as an EU and Japanese R&D project made by twelve partners (six European and six Japanese). The main motivational factor arises from the fact that many data sources in the IoT and smart city domain may contain sensitive information that raises issues on privacy and data protection. The main objective sought by M-Sec is to develop a framework that provides security and integrity of data traffic, end to end, from the device to the Cloud and to the application in a secure and transparent way. In the scope of this research, the project is now conducting an online survey to all EU and Japanese citizens and stakeholders, considered as potential users of the M-Sec solution, to collect feedback on their IoT devices and applications experience and on their knowledge of EU and Japan’s data protection regulations. Filling in this survey will not take you more than 1 minute. Help us further understand the IoT ecosystem in which M-Sec is expected to operate. Take the survey: https://forms.gle/r3zJQngkvWK8XebE7 The survey tries to further understand citizens and stakeholders’ IoT experience in terms of the IoT devices that people and companies commonly use or are considering to start using in a near future. Moreover, as individuals, we currently use more than one IoT device. Therefore, the M-Sec project would also like to better understand if individuals have any concerns, and what those might be, regarding the security and privacy of their personal information when using those devices. Finally, this online consultation also tries to better understand individuals’ awareness of the current data protection policies that exist in their EU or Japanese region. When filling in the survey, citizens and stakeholders can provide their email address if they want to receive more information about the M-Sec project. If this is not the case, the survey is completely anonymous and the results from the data collected will be presented by the project in an aggregated way, thus complying with GDPR and APPI rules.
