A security framework for privacy-preserving data aggregation in wireless sensor networks

Abstract

A formal treatment to the security of Concealed Data Aggregation (CDA) and the more general Private Data Aggregation (PDA) is given. While there exist a handful of constructions, rigorous security models and analyses for CDA or PDA are still lacking. Standard security notions for public key encryption, including semantic security and indistinguishability against chosen ciphertext attacks, are refined to cover the multisender nature and aggregation functionality of CDA and PDA in the security model. The proposed security model is sufficiently general to cover most application scenarios and constructions of privacy-preserving data aggregation. An impossibility result on achieving security against adaptive chosen ciphertext attacks in CDA/PDA is shown. A generic CDA construction based on public key homomorphic encryption is given, along with a proof of its security in the proposed model. The security of a number of existing schemes is analyzed in the proposed model.

“…The security model was sufficiently required for covering the most application scenarios and construction of data aggregation [23]. Lu et al presented an optimal allocation strategy for data aggregation in WSN.…”

Analyzing the Efficiency of Text-to-Image Encryption Algorithm

“…www.ijacsa.thesai.org algorithm and of the plaintext and it is one of the inputs of the encryption algorithm.The ciphertext is the scrambled text produced as output. The decryption algorithm is the encryption algorithm run in reverse [6,2,7]. There are two main categories of private-key algorithms, namely block and stream encryption [8].…”

“…Decryption is the process of converting data from encrypted format back to their original format [2]. Data encryption becomes an important issue when sensitive data are to be sent through a network where unauthorized users may attack the network.…”

Adequate Sparse Secure and Minkowski Distance Based Location Privacy Approach in Wireless Sensor Network

“…A sensor is a simple, battery fuelled apparatus with required computational power and memory that is outfitted with distinguishing radio transmission units. WSNs are generally connected with the outside world through a computationally executable centre called the sink that is in like manner responsible for data gathering and data join [2,3]. Remote sensors need to talk with each other through remote transmission.…”
