Preserving data and key privacy in Data Aggregation for Wireless Sensor Networks

Abstract

Reliable and trustful data aggregation is needed for most application in Wireless Sensor Networks. In this paper, we propose a new approach to attain data and key privacy protection in data aggregation called Preserving Data and Key Privacy in Data Aggregation for Wireless Sensor Networks (PDKP).Existing privacy preserving protocol provide more computational and communicational overhead in the sensor nodes. It increases the consumption of energy among the nodes. In our scheme, the encrypted content of the data is shared without revealing the data and key to other nodes by using simple technique. It preserves the key and data from an adversary with less computational and communication overhead. The base station can identify the distrustful groups related to the set of group aggregates and the retransmission of data is performed only for the abnormal data sensing intermediate nodes. It preserves the various security issues such as data freshness, data integrity, data confidentiality in data aggregation. Our simulation result showed that implementation of PDKP reduces the communication overhead and increases energy efficiency.
