Location privacy protection of nodes in the perception layer of the Internet of things based on Radio Frequency Identification location aware algorithm

Abstract

AbstractTo ensure the security of node location privacy in the perception layer of the Internet of Things, this study proposes a location privacy protection method based on RFID location awareness algorithm. This method first introduces an adaptive multi tree anti‐collision algorithm based on collision trees when perceiving and locating the location information of nodes in the perception layer of the Internet of Things, to prevent signal collisions between multiple readers and writers. Then, based on the obtained node location results, a IoT perception layer node location privacy protection scheme based on virtual ring strategy is used to randomly initiate directed co hop routing using the virtual nodes generated after random walking, avoiding the visible area of the source node location, and transmitting data to the aggregation node in the form of the shortest routing path to protect the privacy and security of the node location. Finally, experiments are carried out to prove the progressiveness of the proposed method. The experimental results show that this method can prolong the security period of the source and aggregation nodes in the perception layer of the Internet of Things, protect the privacy and security of node positions, and has great application value.
