Privacy Protection Scheme for Data Aggregation in Wireless Sensor Networks Based on PRDA+ Protocol

Abstract

To improve the data aggregation privacy protection scheme in wireless sensor network (WSN), a new scheme is put forward based on the privacy protection of polynomial regression and the privacy protection method based on the homomorphic encryption. The polynomial data aggregation (PRDA+) protocol is also proposed. In this scheme, the node and the base station will pre-deploy a secret key, and the random number generator encrypts the random number for the seed through the private key, which protects the privacy of the data. Then, by comparing the decrypted aggregate data through the correlation between the two metadata, the integrity protection of the data is realized. A weighted average aggregation scheme that can be verified is proposed. In view of the different importance of user information, the corresponding weights are set for each sensor node. EL Gamal digital signature is used to authenticate sensor nodes. The results show that the signature verification algorithm enables the scheme to resist data tampering and data denial, and to trace the source of erroneous data.
