Towards a secure social sensor network

Sensor Networks (SN) have been developed for several domains which makes each person or organization has heterogeneous sensors. When considering that the data generated by sensor nodes should be permanently stored and permanently accessible from all over the world by scientists or doctors who need to be notified when some events are triggered, the data sharing, publication and notification become a crucial challenge. This paper present a convergence of social networks, cloud computing and sensor networks to resolve the aforementioned requirements while ensuring privacy and security of users.
