| Abstract | IoT devices are becoming more common and prevalent in private households. Since guests can be present in IoT-equipped households, IoT devices can ose considerable privacy risks to them. In this paper, we present an in-depth evaluation of privacy protection for guests considering the perspectives of hosts
and guests. First, we interviewed 21 IoT device owners about four classes of mechanisms obtained from the literature and social aspects. Second, we conducted an online survey (N=264) that investigates the perspective
of guests in IoT-equipped households. From our results, we learn that protection mechanisms should not introduce privacy threats and require low resources. Further, hosts should keep control over their devices and the aesthetics of their living spaces. Guests, however, value feedback about the status of privacy protection which can interfere with aesthetics. Privacy protection should rather foster collaboration and not impact the visit of the guest too severely.We use our results to identify a design space for guest privacy protection in IoT-equipped households. |
