Abstract

Video surveillance of public spaces is a feature of modern society that has expanded quite quickly and in a pervasive way during the last decades becoming a fundamental need for both individual and collective security. But, as the sophistication of this type of systems increases, the concern about threat to individuals' right of privacy raises as well. Indeed, the video surveillance systems could breach personal privacy because location is clearly one of the most sensitive people information. Hence, preserving location privacy while achieving utility from it, is a challenging problem demanding the investigation of researchers. This paper tackles this non-trivial issue by designing a novel privacy-preserving architecture able to anonymously monitoring people access at the entrance of critical areas in an indoor space. At the same time our approach is able to provide full accountability in case of an accident or a legal requirement. Interestingly, our protocol is robust to server-side attacks and is efficient enough to be applied indoors through a set of IoT (Internet of Things) smart camera devices.
