  • Privacy Analysis of Smart TV Communication
    Privacy Analysis of Smart TV Communication A case study of privacy threats in Smart TVs Abdulaziz Abdugani Thesis submitted for the degree of Master in Informatics: Programming and System Architecture 60 credits Department of Informatics Faculty of mathematics and natural sciences UNIVERSITY OF OSLO Autumn 2020 Privacy Analysis of Smart TV Communication A case study of privacy threats in Smart TVs Abdulaziz Abdugani © 2020 Abdulaziz Abdugani Privacy Analysis of Smart TV Communication http://www.duo.uio.no/ Printed: Reprosentralen, University of Oslo Abstract The increasing popularity of Internet–connected TVs promises new conveniences, possibly introducing new privacy concerns. Smart TV vendors have the power to gather many types of information from consumers that use a Smart TV. Unlike traditional old TVs, many modern Smart TVs have sensors such as cameras, microphones and other types of sensors that constantly monitor details of consumer usage. There is a need to study how Smart TV vendors gather data about their consumers and how this information is transmitted through the Internet. In this paper, five Smart TVs were put to the test to see if vendors follow their own policies. A single case study was conducted, where each Smart TV was monitored to see how each TV communicates with its vendors and other third parties while the vendor policies are accepted or declined. This was tested in two states, in one state the privacy policy was accepted while in the other state, the privacy policy was declined. The collection of data was done by intercepting and capturing the traffic from the TVs on a local network.
