Security and Privacy Issues for E-textile Applications

In the last decade, there have been numerous challenges in the field of security and privacy since electronic textiles have grown dramatically. Electronic textile applications are becoming the target of attackers due to critical personal data collected the body their sensors. System designers must be aware of the security requirements to develop a well defended application. In e-textile applications, the issue of security is as important as privacy and the designer has to have a broad knowledge. However, studies on security and privacy are highly distributed. In this paper, the distributed security and privacy challenges are collected under a single umbrella for e-textile applications, while making it easier to enter this area for those who start new work in this field made it easier to enter this area.
