User zimne above posted the whitepaper and other papers links, I’ve read them (well, I could only understand 10% of the Yellow Paper and DKSAP-IoT Paper as they are all about mathematics and cryptography innovations, but the whitepaper which is still an academic paper itself can be read if you have intermediate  engineering/math education).

Let’s take the full-privacy algorithm which IoTeX provides (and improved over the Monero algorithms by making them lightweight and capable of running on low power devices): I think apart of (legal)e-commerce and few other applications, most IoT uses wil require full privacy. Think even to the basic E-Charger application of IOTA: how hard it would be for people who knows your car id on the Iota network (say the car manufacturer or your husband/wife) to track the places you have been to?
