Question 1

Data Flow

Answer 1

Data flow diagrams (e.g., Data Flow Diagrams used by
Unified Modelling Language) allow interested parties to
understand how data flows within a given IoT application and how data is being treated. Therefore, DFDs
can be used as a form of a compliance demonstration

Question 2

Certification

Answer 2

In this context, certification refers to the confirmation of
certain characteristics of an system and process. Typically, certifications are given by a neutral authority. Certification will add trustworthiness to IoT applications.
TRUSTe (truste.com) [42] Privacy Seal is one example,
even though none of the existing certifications are explicitly designed to certify IoT applications
