Abstract
Smart environments are pervasive computing systems that provide higher comfort levels on daily routines throughout interactions among smart sensors and embedded computers. The lack of privacy within these interactions can lead to the exposure of sensitive data. We present PRIPRO (PRIvacy PROfiles), a management tool that includes an Android application that acts on the user’s smartphone by allowing or blocking resources according to the context, in order to address this issue. Back-end web server processes and imposes a protocol according to the conditions that the user selected beforehand. The experimental results show that the proposed solution successfully communicates with the Android Device Administration framework, and the device appropriately reacts to the expected set of permissions imposed according to the user’s profile with low response time and resource usage.
Highlights
Many contemporary activities rely on the use of smartphones and other smart mobile devices (SMDs)—e.g., tablets, smartwatches—to promote a better quality of life [1]
We propose an approach that differs from the others by managing the privacy profile in smart environments with a system that allows for the evolution of the user profile in different scenarios

Summary
Many contemporary activities rely on the use of smartphones and other smart mobile devices (SMDs)—e.g., tablets, smartwatches—to promote a better quality of life [1]. Several works have presented proposals for identifying users from their devices [1], creating social communities based on the user’s context, profile and social networks [3], authentication of users with guaranteed privacy and access control in smart environments [4,5,6,7], and the detection of groups and activities in smart buildings [8], among others. In this context, in [9], the author presented the middleware UbiPri (Ubiquitous Privacy) for the control and management of data privacy based on a generic model. It is necessary to recognize the different levels of human activities
