Abstract:
A reliable mobile crowdsensing (MCS) application usually relies on sufficient participants and trustworthy data. However, privacy concerns reduce participants' willingness to participate in sensing tasks. The uncertainty of participant behavior and heterogeneity of sensing devices result in the unreliability of sensing data and further bring unreliable MCS services. Hence, it is crucial to estimate the reliability of sensing data and protect privacy. Unfortunately, most existing privacy-preserving data estimation solutions are designed for single-type data. In practice, however, heterogeneous sensing data are ubiquitous in data integration tasks. To this end, we propose a privacy-preserving reliability estimation solution of heterogeneous data for MCS, called IronM, which is effective for text, number, and multimedia data (e.g., image, audio, and video). Specifically, IronM first formulates the reliability assessment of text, number, and multimedia data as equality and range constraints, and then estimates the reliability of heterogeneous data through our proposed privacy-preserving hybrid constraints assessment mechanism. Privacy analysis demonstrates that IronM can not only evaluate the reliability of heterogeneous data but also protect data confidentiality. The experimental results in real-world datasets show the effectiveness and efficiency of IronM.
