Here, hardware monitors human activities (by collecting data) specific to a context. Such data can be processed to offer context-specific valuable insights. Such insights can be used for optimising the well-being, living experience and energy cost of smart homes. This paper proposes a Secure Embedded Living Framework~(SELF) that enforces a privacy-preserving data control mechanism by integrating multiple technologies, such as Internet-of-thing, cloud/fog platform, machine learning and blockchain. The primary aim of the SELF is to allow the user to retain more control of its data.}, year = {2022}, journal = {IEEE Communications Magazine}, volume = {60}, pages = {74{\textendash}80}, month = {11/2022}, publisher = {IEEE}, issn = {0163-6804}, doi = {10.1109/MCOM.001.2200165}, }
