The term “ubiquitous computing” was introduced back in 1991 by Mark Weiser. Weiser predicted the replacement of typical, heavyweight computers of the time with a large number of small, networked and extremely lightweight computers. In 1999, Kevin Ashton coined the term Internet of Things for objects in the real world that are given a digital identity via assigned passive codes or active computer chips and can identify themselves with this identity. This great idea brings with it innovative leaps and bounds, as well as challenges and risks. Digitization and the Internet of Things are both parts of the same concept and involve a state in which everyday physical objects and information are connected on the Internet and are able to identify themselves to other devices. From a forensics perspective, this concept (The IoT World Forum Reference Model) brings a “vast amount” of data, but also many questions related to data security and data protection.
