Abstract In the twenty-first century, so many technological paradigms emerged as the result of the technological advancement of information and communication technology (ICT). Many of the technologies were used as an aid for fulfilling human needs and mitigating many of the problems associated with the environment and making everyone connected. In order to mitigate the problem of rapid urbanization smart city concept has emerged and it is being used to streamline the functions of urban cities and make the lives of citizens more easy and convenient. In a typical smart city context, citizens are already interconnected via smart mobile devices and wearable devices. The hospitals, vehicles, houses, traffic surveillance systems, public places, and other social systems in the city are all connected over the Internet, which is known as the Internet of Things (IoT). This will contribute to unprecedented changes in the condition of life in the city. In public care, public safety, emergency management, and disaster recovery, these pervasive systems which are linked through the Internet can assist citizens with greater benefits. The world is now witnessing a boom of smart cities. Although smart cities have many advantages, such as creating new economic and social possibilities, there are many challenges, such as security and privacy. These security and privacy challenges include unauthorized access to information and attacks that cause physical interruptions in the provision of city services. As all people in the city are linked to each other through the underlying ubiquitous communication technologies in the smart city, security problems can arise as a result of the vulnerabilities present in the city infrastructure, communication networks, and human errors. Different applications used in smart cities can also present new vulnerabilities, so the attackers can gain access to information which is highly confidential. The purpose of this study is to provide an extensive analysis of security and privacy problems in smart cities. © 2022, Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
