Elliptic Curve-Based Secure Multidimensional Aggregation for Smart Grid Communications
In smart grid, data aggregation is considered as an essential paradigm in assessing information about current energy usage. To achieve the privacy-preserving goal, several homomorphic-based solutions have been proposed. However, these solutions either consider one-dimensional information or use costly pairing computation in order to ensure source authentication. In fact, smart grid data are likely to be multidimensional (e.g., time, purpose, and so on) for more accurate control. In addition, the aggregation node in smart grid needs to verify data that come from several smart meters in a residential area; hence, the verification must be cost-efficient. In this paper, we propose a scheme that…
Secure and efficient verification for data aggregation in wireless sensor networks
Summary The Internet of Things (IoT) concept is, and will be, one of the most interesting topics in the field of Information and Communications Technology. Covering a wide range of applications, wireless sensor networks (WSNs) can play an important role in IoT by seamless integration among thousands of sensors. The benefits of using WSN in IoT include the integrity, scalability, robustness, and easiness in deployment. In WSNs, data aggregation is a famous technique, which, on one hand, plays an essential role in energy preservation and, on the other hand, makes the network prone to different kinds of attacks. The detection of false data injection and impersonation attacks is one of the majo…
Green Fleet Management Architecture : Application to Economic Itineary Planning
International audience; Over the last decade, great efforts are invested in reducing emissions of greenhouse gases at a world scale. We should therefore elaborate new global solutions to this type of pollution, in which fleets of vehicles are heavily contributing. In this paper, we propose a novel green architecture for global fleet management that considers the most important actors. The proposed architecture allows to collect useful information from several fleets of vehicles and their environment, and provides real-time services to companies that own one of these fleets. One important service is the calculation of economic itinerary. We propose a new "green" calculation method that is ba…
A novel secure aggregation scheme for wireless sensor networks using stateful public key cryptography
International audience; Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are nowadays considered as an important part of the Internet of Things (IoT). In these networks, data aggregation plays an essential role in energy preservation. However, WSNs are usually deployed in hostile and unattended environments (e.g. military applications) in which the confidentiality and integrity security services are widely desired. Recently, homomorphic encryptions have been applied to conceal sensitive information during aggregation such that algebraic operations are done directly on ciphertexts without decryption. The main benefit is that they offer the end-to-end data confidentiality and they do not require expensive com…
