Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main"> <title>SUMMARY</title> <p>The smart city project is currently being promoted in various countries around the world. It is intended to take advantage of personal information and more appropriate utilization of energy. Therefore, the existence of privacy issues has been noted. Since a specific discussion of privacy risks in the smart city project is premature, we discuss the privacy risks associated with advances in the standardization of the smart grid, whose technology is the core of the smart city. In this paper we verify the effectiveness of Privacy Impact Assessment, with reference to privacy risks in the smart city.</p> </abstract>
