Abstract

In recent years, we have seen a number of research works reported which target different security and privacy issues in Bangladesh. To understand their scopes, it is essential to have a clear picture of the application domains they have covered and different security and privacy issues they have analysed and identified. In essence, a survey of all major works covering different security and privacy aspects with a specific focus in Bangladesh is required and is still missing. In this paper, we present an application-centric survey covering studies of security and privacy issues in Bangladesh perspective, utilising an application as well as study centric taxonomies. A total number of 19 research papers have been identified and thoroughly reviewed according to the formulated taxonomies. Finally, we present a summary of our analysis using tabular formats, clearly identifying the scopes as well as applications domains for each reviewed work.
