In this chapter, we have discussed smart cities, their applications, and the
associated security and privacy issues. We will begin with a brief introduction to smart
cities, followed by a focus on the major and essential applications required to transform
a city into a smart city. We will cover topics such as smart education, healthcare,
governance, transportation, and services. Each of these applications plays a crucial and
efficient role in realizing the objectives of a smart city. Furthermore, it is imperative to
address the security and privacy concerns related to these applications, particularly
concerning data access and protection, and to identify the necessary security
requirements for these applications.
