Uporaba biometričnih podatkov v pametnih domovih

Zvizdalo, Nina (author), Starešinič, Marica (mentor)

Zaključno delo obravnava pomen biometričnih podatkov v pametnih domovih. Najprej smo v teoretičnem delu ugotovili, kaj so biometrični podatki in kaj je pametni dom. V eksperimentalnem delu smo preučili štiri pametne domove: Amazon Alexa, Google Home, Apple HomeKit in Samsung SmartThings. Raziskali smo, kako se ravna s podatki in kakšna je njihova zaščita. Pridobljene rezultate smo analizirali glede na njihov sistem delovanja in uporabo biometričnih podatkov. Uredili smo jih v preglednici, iz njiju pa smo pridobili zanimive zaključke. Ugotovili smo, da so bile pri vseh štirih preučenih pametnih domovih najdene napake v sistemu in pa tudi kršitve zasebnosti. Med štirimi preučenimi pametnimi domovi s stališča zaščite podatkov ni večjih odstopanj. O Samsung SmartThings smo na svetovnem spletu našli največ kršitev, za Amazonov pametni dom pa je potrjeno, da ustvarja in shranjuje zvočne posnetke uporabnikov. Glede na preučene pametne domove bi zato najprej priporočili Google Home ali Applov HomeKit. Biometrični podatki pri nobenem niso deležni posebne obravnave in niso zadostno zaščiteni.

• Title: The use of biometric data in smart homes

Abstract

In the master's thesis, the importance of biometric data in smart homes was explored. Firstly, in the theoretical part what is biometric data and what is a smart home was examined. In the experimental part four smart homes were studied; Amazon Alexa, Google Home, Apple HomeKit and Samsung SmartThings. It was researched how data is handled and protected, based on the functionality of their systems and the use of biometric dataThe obtained results were arranged in tables, and conclusions were drawn from them. Errors in the system as well as privacy breaches were found in all four smart homes. No major deviations were found between the four smart homes examined from a data protection point of view. The most violations were found about Samsung SmartThings, moreover Amazon's smart home has been confirmed to create and store audio recordings of its users. Based on the smart homes studied, the first two to recommend are Google Home or Apple’s HomeKit. Biometric data does not receive special treatment with any of them and is not sufficiently protected.
