Abstract(s)
A era digital transformou profundamente a forma como interagimos e operamos no mundo. No meio desta revolução tecnológica, surge a Internet das Coisas (IoT), uma inovação que promete uma interligação sem precedentes entre dispositivos, desde eletrodomésticos até aos veículos inteligentes. Esta dissertação explora as profundas implicações da integração da tecnologia 5G com a IoT, uma combinação tecnológica que não só potencia a velocidade de comunicação e reduz a latência, mas também levanta questões críticas sobre segurança e privacidade.
A IoT, ao interligar milhões de dispositivos, cria uma rede complexa de dados que são incessantemente recolhidos, transmitidos e processados. O 5G, com a sua capacidade de suportar uma densidade massiva de dispositivos, acelera esta dinâmica, possibilitando aplicações inovadoras e disruptivas em setores como a saúde, os transportes ou a indústria. No entanto, esta conectividade não está isenta de riscos. A presente investigação visa também analisar a perceção dos utilizadores sobre a confiança, segurança e privacidade neste novo cenário.
Recorrendo a uma metodologia quantitativa, a pesquisa recolheu várias informações através de um questionário aplicado a utilizadores destas duas áreas. O estudo seguiu uma estrutura metodológica rigorosa que incluiu: uma extensa revisão de literatura, desenvolvimento de um questionário robusto, recolha e análise de dados, e a formulação de conclusões fundamentadas.
Os resultados revelam um paradoxo: Enquanto que o 5G potência a expansão da IoT e as suas aplicações, acaba por amplificar também as vulnerabilidades. Questões de segurança e privacidade emergem como barreiras significativas à adoção plena da IoT. A confiança dos utilizadores é assim fragilizada pela perceção dos riscos associados à combinação destas duas tecnologias.
The digital era has profoundly transformed the way we interact and operate in the world. Amidst this technological revolution, the Internet of Things (IoT) emerges as an innovation that promises unprecedented interconnection between devices, from household appliances to smart vehicles. This dissertation explores the profound implications of integrating 5G technology with IoT. This technological combination not only enhances communication speed and reduces latency but also raises critical issues regarding security and privacy. By interconnecting millions of devices, the IoT creates a complex network of data that is incessantly collected, transmitted, and processed. 5G, with its capacity to support a massive density of devices, accelerates this dynamic, enabling innovative and disruptive applications in sectors such as healthcare, transportation, or the industry. However, this connectivity is not without risks. This research also aims to analyse users' perceptions of trust, security, and privacy in this new scenario. Using a quantitative methodology, the research gathered various data through a questionnaire applied to users in these two areas. The study followed a rigorous methodological structure that included: an extensive literature review, development of a robust questionnaire, data collection and analysis, and formulating well-founded conclusions. The results reveal a paradox: While 5G enhances the expansion of IoT and its applications, it also amplifies vulnerabilities. Security and privacy issues emerge as significant barriers to the full adoption of IoT. Users' trust is thus undermined by the perception of risks associated with the combination of these two technologies.
