DESCRIPTION:Abstract: The Internet of Things (IoT) is now a reality and ma
 ny challenging issues still need to be addressed. One of this is to guaran
 tee trust\, privacy\, and security. Privacy has become particularly pertin
 ent after the initiative of the European Commission (EC) about the General
  Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Since it has been demonstrated that en
 suring privacy relying on the cloud creates risks of privacy violation\, w
 e propose to work at the edge. We first build an open access and flexible 
 hardware platform for measurements and custom experimentation on IoT envir
 onment. The platform is composed by 87 IoT devices distributed in differen
 t locations and backend servers for collecting data. The platform allows t
 o monitor and control the measurement process\, and most important ensurin
 g repeatability on the measurements and controlling context information. T
 hrough a total of 34\,586 rigorous automated and manual controlled experim
 ents\, we characterize information exposure in terms of destinations of In
 ternet traffic\, whether the contents of communication are protected by en
 cryption\, what are the IoT-device interactions that can be inferred from 
 such content\, and whether there are unexpected exposures of private and/o
 r sensitive information (e.g.\, video surreptitiously transmitted by a rec
 ording device). We highlight regional differences between these results\, 
 potentially due to different privacy regulations in the US and UK. Results
  will help companies to not accumulate personal data except what they actu
 ally require\, in order to comply with the GDPR and give control back to t
 he user.\n\nBio: Anna Maria Mandalari is a research associate in the Dyson
  School of Design Engineering at the Faculty of Engineering at Imperial Co
 llege London. Over the last four years she was a METRICS Marie Curie Early
  Stage Researcher affiliated with the University Carlos III of Madrid (UC3
 M). Her research interests are related to IoT\, privacy\, large-scale Inte
 rnet measurements\, Internet measurement platforms\, middleboxes and new I
 nternet protocols.
