Abstract
The Internet of Things can be seen has a growing number of things that inter-operate using an Internet-based infrastructure and that has evolved during the last years with little concern for the privacy of its users, especially regarding how the collected data is stored. Technological measures ensuring users privacy must be established. In this paper we will present a technological framework for the secure storage of data. Things can then interact with the framework’s API much in the same way they now interact with its current servers, after which, the framework will perform the required operations in order to secure the data before storing it. The methods adopted for the secure storage will maintain the sharing ability, conveniently allowing authorized access to other users, the initial user’s terms (e.g. data anonymity) and the ability to revoke assigned privileges at all times.
