In-Depth Information
Data security issues can be summarized into data confidentiality, data authenticity, da-
ta integrity, and data freshness. These four types of security issues can be solved in four
aspects: cryptographic algorithms, key management, secure routing, node trust [10].

Conclusions
The Internet of Things has the potential to improve smart communications. When
applied to childcare it can help bringing into parents more confidence in their child-
ren's safety, especially in cases of disabled children.
In this paper was presented a solution for an IoT system able to detect dangerous
situations in real time through the analysis of data collected from the child by using a
sensors network, RFID tags and GPS.
One of the main advantages of the proposed method is that, once validated, it can
be useful for several domains of everyday-life, not only to childcare but also to crime
detection, smart environment and so on. The fact of being a real time application is
also crucial to avoid the happening of dangerous situations.
