Data Aggregation Based on Saving Energy and Preserving Privacy in Wireless Sensor Networks

Privacy preserving plays an important role in application of the Internet of Things (IoT). As apart of the IT, Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) should provide the privacy preserving in data aggregation. This paper presents a novel energy-saving private-preserving aggregation scheme (ESPART) for Wireless Sensor Networks, which uses characteristic of the data aggregation tree structure to reduce communication overhead. It assigns the random time pieces to nodes with aim to avoid collision, and limits the scope of collusion data to reinforce data—loss resilience. Compared with the SMART algorithm have less communication overhead. ESPART uses data-dependent fusion characteristics of the tree structure to eliminate SMART algorithm for unnecessary communication node, so that in case of the same privacy protection security, the data transmission amount is reduced to about 48% of SMART.
