| Abstract | Nowadays, the majority of humans live in a world of interconnected cities. A contemporary city attempts to improve the quality of citizens' life and its economy by integrating digital infrastructures with the physical city (smart city). Moreover, citizens in smart cities are playing the central role in the majority of eBusiness models that are based on Collective Intelligent decision making applications. However, citizens avoid the participation in such applications by providing data because they feel that there is a risk of correlating their activities and data with their identities. Thus, there is a need to protect citizens' privacy in the territory of a smart city while encouraging them to participate in the establishment of new markets. In this paper, the encapsulation of an ABCs based authentication system in a generic eBusiness model that provides Collective Intelligent eServices in Smart Cities is presented. In the emerging eBusiness Model, the user privacy/anonymity has a central role which increases user incentives to participate in the establishment of new markets and products in a city territory. |
