Smart Services collect and analyze a vast amount of (partly private) data and thus gain valuable insights concerning their users. To prevent this, users have to balance service quality (i.e., reveal a lot of private data) and privacy (i.e., waive many features). Current IoT privacy approaches do not reflect this discrepancy properly and are often too restrictive as a consequence. For this reason, we introduce VAULT, a new approach for the protection of private data. VAULT is tailored to time series data as used by the IoT. It achieves a good tradeoff between service quality and privacy. For this purpose, VAULT applies five different privacy techniques. Our implementation of VAULT adopts a Privacy by Design approach. %Z SECURWARE 2019 Best Paper Award %U https://thinkmind.org/index.php?view=article&articleid=securware_2019_3_10_30031
