Experiencing Tangible Privacy Control for Smart Homes with PriKey

Existing software-based smart home privacy mechanisms are frequently indirect and cumbersome to use. We developed PriKey, a tangible privacy mechanism for smart homes that offers intuitive, device-independent, sensor-based, and user-centric privacy control. To render our concept comprehensible, we implemented a demonstration consisting of Wizard-of-Oz prototypes that show the envisioned form factor, size, and portability of our system, as well as a larger functional prototype of PriKey, which enables control of privacy-invasive sensors integrated into two exemplary smart devices, i.e., a smart speaker and a tablet.
