Deduplication and Approximate Analytics for Encrypted IoT Data in Fog-Assisted Cloud Storage
摘要
With the advancement of the Internet of Things (IoT) technologies, there has been a rapid increase in the volume of IoT data, leading to escalating costs in storage, transmission, and analytics. The benefits of conventional data deduplication schemes are diminishing when applied to IoT data that is similar but distinct, necessitating the development of new approaches to accommodate these new scenarios. This paper proposes a deduplication and approximate analytics scheme for encrypted IoT data in fog-assisted cloud storage. The scheme is based on Generalized Deduplication (GD), Message Locked Encryption (MLE), Homomorphic Encryption (HE), and ciphertext conversion techniques. We employ GD to divide similar but distinct IoT data into bases and deviations, and perform deduplication on the encrypted base to achieve efficient storage while protecting data privacy. Additionally, we utilize Hybrid Homomorphic Encryption (HHE) techniques to convert the symmetric ciphertext of IoT data into homomorphic ciphertext, facilitating approximate analytics while ensuring privacy protection of IoT data in fog-assisted cloud storage and reducing the computation overhead on IoT devices.
