Blockchain-Based Consent Management for Privacy Persevering and Transparency in Intelligent Surveillance Systems

Abstract

Video cameras are becoming ubiquitous. They'd be interconnected within a larger pervasive infrastructure supported by artificial intelligence which helps ensure smart services relaying in real-time video analysis and image processing. However, such services and technologies involve a set of privacy concerns. If privacy concerns can be addressed, enabling real-time analytics on video streams in public spaces can be valuable in supporting many applications for security, public safety, and urban space management. This study aims to highlight privacy concerns in image and video processing in the context of intelligent IoT systems by proposing a blockchain-based approach for data transparency and privacy management. As a result, our proposed approach will provide IoT customers the ability to manage their consent using a distributed ledger securely.
