Abstract Internet of Things (IoT) connects various kinds of intelligent objects and devices using the internet to collect and exchange data. Nowadays, The IoT is used in diverse application domains, including the healthcare. In the healthcare domain, the IoT devices can collects patient data, and its forwards the data to the healthcare professionals can view it. The IoT devices are usually resource-constrained in terms of energy consumption, storage capacity, computational capability, and communication range, data aggregation techniques are used to reduce the communication overhead. However, in healthcare system using IoT, the heterogeneity of technologies, the large number of devices and systems, and the different types of users and roles create important challenges in terms of security. For that, the security and privacy aggregation of health data are very important aspects. In this paper, we propose a novel secure data aggregation scheme based on homomorphic primitives in IoT based healthcare systems, called “An Efficient and Privacy-Preserving Data Aggregation Scheme with authentication for IoT-Based Healthcare applications” (EPPDA). EPPDA is based the Verification and Authorization phase to verifying the legitimacy of the nodes wants to join the process of aggregation. EPPDA uses additive homomorphic encryption to protect data privacy and combines it with homomorphic MAC to check the data integrity. The security analysis and experimental results show that our proposed scheme guarantees data privacy, messages authenticity, and integrity, with lightweight communication overhead and computation.

Road side units (RSUs) can act as fog nodes to perform data aggregation at the edge of network, which can reduce communication overhead and improve the utilization of network resources. However, because the RSU is public infrastructure, this feature may bring data security and privacy risks in data aggregation. In this paper, we propose a secure multi-subinterval data aggregation scheme, named SMDA, with interval privacy preservation for vehicle sensing systems. Specifically, our scheme combines the [Formula: see text] encoding theory and proxy re-encryption to protect interval privacy, this can ensure that the interval information is only known by the data center, and the RSU can classify the encrypted data without knowing the plaintext of the data and interval information. Meanwhile, our scheme employs the Paillier homomorphic encryption to accomplish data aggregation at the RSU, and the Identity-based batch authentication technology to solve authentication and data integrity. Finally, the security analysis and performance evaluations illustrate the safety and efficiency of our scheme.

Secure Data Aggregation

Nowadays, IoT technology is used in various application domains, including the healthcare, where sensors and IoT enabled medical devices exchange data without human interaction to securely transmit collected sensitive healthcare data towards healthcare professionals to be reviewed and take proper actions if needed. The IoT devices are usually resource-constrained in terms of energy consumption, storage capacity, computational capability, and communication range. In healthcare applications, many miniaturized devices are exploited for healthcare data collection and transmission. Thus, there is a need for secure data aggregation while preserving the data integrity and privacy of the patient. For that, the security, privacy, and aggregation of health data are very important aspects to be considered. This paper proposes a novel secure data aggregation scheme called “An Efficient and Privacy-Preserving Data Aggregation Scheme with authentication for IoT-Based Healthcare applications” (EPPDA). EPPDA is based to verification and authorization phase to verify the legitimacy of the nodes that need to join the process of aggregation. EPPDA, also, uses additive homomorphic encryption to protect data privacy and combines it with homomorphic MAC to check the data integrity. The major advantage of homomorphic encryption is allowing complex mathematical operations to be performed on encrypted data without knowing the contents of the original plain data. The proposed system is developed using MySignals HW V2 platform. Security analysis and experimental results show that our proposed scheme guarantees data privacy, messages authenticity, and integrity, with lightweight communication overhead and computation.

Communication Overhead

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are increasingly involved in many applications. However, communication overhead and energy efficiency of sensor nodes are the major concerns in WSNs. In addition, the broadcast communication mode of WSNs makes the network vulnerable to privacy disclosure when the sensor nodes are subject to malicious behaviours. Based on the abovementioned issues, we present a Queries Privacy Preserving mechanism for Data Aggregation (QPPDA) which may reduce energy consumption by allowing multiple queries to be aggregated into a single packet and preserve data privacy effectively by employing a privacy homomorphic encryption scheme. The performance evaluations obtained from the theoretical analysis and the experimental simulation show that our mechanism can reduce the communication overhead of the network and protect the private data from being compromised.

Data analytics based on the produced data from the Internet of Things (IoT) devices is expected to improve the individuals’ quality of life. However, ensuring security and privacy in the IoT data aggregation process is a non-trivial task. Generally, the IoT data aggregation process is based on centralized servers. Yet, in the case of distributed approaches, it is difficult to coordinate several untrustworthy parties. Fortunately, the blockchain may provide decentralization while overcoming the trust problem. Consequently, blockchain-based IoT data aggregation may become a reasonable choice for the design of a privacy-preserving system. To this end, we propose PrivDA, a Privacy-preserving IoT Data Aggregation scheme based on the blockchain and homomorphic encryption technologies. In the proposed system, each data consumer can create a smart contract and publish both terms of service and requested IoT data. Thus, the smart contract puts together into one group potential data producers that can answer the consumer’s request and chooses one aggregator, the role of which is to compute the group requested result using homomorphic computations. Therefore, group-level aggregation obfuscates IoT data, which complicates sensitive information inference from a single IoT device. Finally, we deploy the proposal on a private Ethereum blockchain and give the performance evaluation.

Aggregation Scheme

In a smart grid, data aggregation is a common method to evaluate regional power consumption. Data leakage in the process of data transmission poses a security threat to the privacy of users. Many existing data aggregation schemes can only aggregate one-dimensional data; however, it is necessary to aggregate multidimensional data in practical smart grid applications. Therefore, this paper proposes a privacy-preserving multidimensional data aggregation scheme, which can aggregate multidimensional data and protect the individual user’s identity and data privacy. The security of the proposed scheme is proved under the random oracle model. The simulation results show that the proposed scheme has great advantages in computing overhead, and the communication overhead also meets the requirements of the smart grid.

This paper proposed an integrity and privacy preserving data aggregation algorithm for WSNs, which is called IPPDA. First, it attached a group of congruent numbers to the sensing data in order to execute integrity checking operated by sink node using Chinese remainder theorem (CRT); then it computed the hash function-based message authentication codes with time and key as the parameters to satisfy data freshness; finally, it adopted a homomorphic encryption scheme to provide privacy preserving. The simulation results show that IPPDA can effectively preserve data privacy, check data integrity, satisfy data freshness, and get accurate data aggregation results while having less computation and communication cost than iCPDA and iPDA.

As an extension of cloud computing, fog computing has received more attention in recent years. It can solve problems such as high latency, lack of support for mobility and location awareness in cloud computing. In the Internet of Things (IoT), a series of IoT devices can be connected to the fog nodes that assist a cloud service center to store and process a part of data in advance. Not only can it reduce the pressure of processing data, but also improve the real-time and service quality. However, data processing at fog nodes suffers from many challenging issues, such as false data injection attacks, data modification attacks, and IoT devices’ privacy violation. In this paper, based on the Paillier homomorphic encryption scheme, we use blinding factors to design a privacy-preserving data aggregation scheme in fog computing. No matter whether the fog node and the cloud control center are honest or not, the proposed scheme ensures that the injection data is from legal IoT devices and is not modified and leaked. The proposed scheme also has fault tolerance, which means that the collection of data from other devices will not be affected even if certain fog devices fail to work. In addition, security analysis and performance evaluation indicate the proposed scheme is secure and efficient.

As a next-generation power system, the smart grid can implement fine-grained smart metering data collection to optimize energy utilization. Smart meters face serious security challenges, such as a trusted third party or a trusted authority being attacked, which leads to the disclosure of user privacy. Blockchain provides a viable solution that can use its key technologies to solve this problem. Blockchain is a new type of decentralized protocol that does not require a trusted third party or a central authority. Therefore, this paper proposes a decentralized privacy-preserving data aggregation (DPPDA) scheme for smart grid based on blockchain. In this scheme, the leader election algorithm is used to select a smart meter in the residential area as a mining node to build a block. The node adopts Paillier cryptosystem algorithm to aggregate the user’s power consumption data. Boneh-Lynn-Shacham short signature and SHA-256 function are applied to ensure the confidentiality and integrity of user data, which is convenient for billing and power regulation. The scheme protects user privacy data while achieving decentralization, without relying on TTP or CA. Security analysis shows that our scheme meets the security and privacy requirements of smart grid data aggregation. The experimental results show that this scheme is more efficient than existing competing schemes in terms of computation and communication overhead.

With the rapid growth of the health data scale, the limited storage and computation resources of wireless body area sensor networks (WBANs) is becoming a barrier to their development. Therefore, outsourcing the encrypted health data to the cloud has been an appealing strategy. However, date aggregation will become difficult. Some recently-proposed schemes try to address this problem. However, there are still some functions and privacy issues that are not discussed. In this paper, we propose a privacy-enhanced and multifunctional health data aggregation scheme (PMHA-DP) under differential privacy. Specifically, we achieve a new aggregation function, weighted average (WAAS), and design a privacy-enhanced aggregation scheme (PAAS) to protect the aggregated data from cloud servers. Besides, a histogram aggregation scheme with high accuracy is proposed. PMHA-DP supports fault tolerance while preserving data privacy. The performance evaluation shows that the proposal leads to less communication overhead than the existing one.
