Abstract
In recent years, as a novel perceptual paradigm, Mobile Crowd Sensing (MCS) has gradually become one of the most popular research contents. It utilizes mobile devices carried by users to collect various sensing data about social events and phenomena. To improve the credibility of the data, it is critical to recruit mobile users, but it leads to the privacy leakage of mobile users. Therefore, how to achieve efficient task allocation while protecting user data privacy is a challenging problem in MCS. In this paper, we propose an efficient and secure task allocation scheme (ESTA). In ESTA, the service provider enables to forecast the spatial distribution of sensing users and select high quality sensing data according to their trust levels without invading user privacy. By utilizing the advantage of federated learning (FL) that does not centrally collect the user data to prevent privacy leakage. Finally, we show the security properties of ESTA and demonstrate its efficiency in terms of task finished ratio and task allocation ratio.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Cloud Computing: Advances, Systems and Applications (JoCCASA) will publish research articles on all aspects of Cloud Computing. Principally, articles will address topics that are core to Cloud Computing, focusing on the Cloud applications, the Cloud systems, and the advances that will lead to the Clouds of the future. Comprehensive review and survey articles that offer up new insights, and lay the foundations for further exploratory and experimental work, are also relevant.
