Efficient and Privacy-Aware Data Aggregation in Mobile Sensing

Efficient and Privacy-Aware Data Aggregation in Mobile Sensing

ABSTRACT:

The proliferation and ever-increasing capabilities of mobile devices such as smart phones give rise to a variety of mobile sensing applications. This paper studies how an untrusted aggregator in mobile sensing can periodically obtain desired statistics over the data contributed by multiple mobile users, without compromising the privacy of each user. Although there are some existing works in this area, they either require bidirectional communications between the aggregator and mobile users in every aggregation period, or have high-computation overhead and cannot support large plaintext spaces. Also, they do not consider the Min aggregate, which is quite useful in mobile sensing. To address these problems, we propose an efficient protocol to obtain the Sum aggregate, which employs an additive homomorphic encryption and a novel key management technique to support large plaintext space. We also extend the sum aggregation protocol to obtain the Min aggregate of time-series data. To deal with dynamic joins and leaves of mobile users, we propose a scheme that utilizes the redundancy in security to reduce the communication cost for each join and leave. Evaluations show that our protocols are orders of magnitude faster than existing solutions, and it has much lower communication overhead.

EXISTING SYSTEM:

Ø Sensor data aggregation assumes a trusted aggregator, and hence cannot protect user privacy against an untrusted aggregator in mobile sensing applications. Several recent works consider the aggregation of time-series data in the presence of an untrusted aggregator. To protect user privacy, they design encryption schemes in which the aggregator can only decrypt the sum of all users’ data but nothing else.

Ø Use threshold Paillier cryptosystem to build such an encryption scheme. To decrypt the sum, their scheme needs an extra round of interaction between the aggregator and all users in every aggregation period, which means high communication cost and long delay. Moreover, it requires all users to be online until decryption is completed, which may not be practical in many mobile sensing scenarios due to user mobility and the heterogeneity of user connectivity.

DISADVANTAGES OF EXISTING SYSTEM:

Ø Cannot protect user privacy against untrusted aggregators.

Ø Existing works do not consider the Min of time-series data.

PROPOSED SYSTEM:

Ø We propose a new privacy-preserving protocol to obtain the Sum aggregate of time-series data.

Ø The protocol utilizes additive homomorphic encryption and a novel, HMAC- based key management technique to perform extremely efficient aggregation.

ADVANTAGES OF PROPOSED SYSTEM:

Ø Our scheme has much lower communication overhead than existing work.

Ø Utilizes the redundancy in security to reduce the communication cost for each join and leave.
