The integration of the Mobile Crowdsensing (MCS) and Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) brings enormous volumes of data that generate significant commercial value. However, the data contain a wealth of sensitive information about devices' environmental situation and collective activities, which draws a flock of adversaries and poses an unprecedented security challenge. Furthermore, sensing gadgets deployed in the IIoT device are usually resource-constrained and often do not have adequate 3C resources (i.e. communication, computing, caching) to run sophisticated privacy-preserving methods, making them easier targets for attacks in data sharing. Therefore, a risk-adaptive privacy protection scheme R-D P for MCS-enabled IIoT gadgets is proposed, which comprises a closed-loop risk-awareness process and an adaptive privacy protection method D P (a dissemination process with perturbation). The closed-loop process dynamic awareness of risks and threats in MCS task feeds appropriate privacy protection advice to the decisionmakers for the task. In addition, D P was designed as a lightweight and risk-adaptive privacy protection method to meet the operational needs of 3C resource-constrained gadgets. The analysis and evaluation show that R-D P provides satisfactory privacy protection while the availability of statistical features reaches more than 96%, and the time complexity is only O (1) for sensing gadgets.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
