With the development of intelligent transport systems (ITS) and vehicular ad hoc network (VANET), vehicular cloud computing (VCC) has been proposed to bring essential and potential benefits, such as improving traffic safety and offering computational services to road users. To make such computational services reliable and secure, the computation results from the vehicular cloud (VC) should be verifiable...
Crowdsensing recently attracts great attention from both industry and academia. By fusing and analyzing multi- dimensional sensing data collected from crowdsensing users, it is possible to support health caring, environment mentoring, traffic mentoring and social behavior mentoring. Nonetheless, how to preserve users' data privacy during data fusing, e.g., data aggregation, has been rarely discussed...
With more and more trajectory traces available, conducting analysis and mining on those trajectories can obtain valuable information. Although the published traces are often made anonymous by substituting the true identities of mobile nodes with random identifiers, the privacy concern remains. In this paper, we propose a new de-anonymization attack based on the movement pattern of moving objects....
In spite of the pronounced benefit brought by crowdsensing, a user would not participate in sensing without adequate incentive, indicating that effective incentive design plays a critical role in making crowdsensing a reality. In this work, we examine the impact of two conflicting factors on incentives for users' participation: 1) the concern about privacy leakage and 2) the (positive) network effect...
The database-driven cognitive radio network (CRN) is regarded as a promising way for a better utilization of spectrum resources without introducing the interference to primary users (PUs). However, there are some critical security and privacy issues in database-driven CRNs, which have been rarely discussed before. First of all, in order to retrieve the spectrum available information (SAI) of one's...
Mobile healthcare system integrating wearable sensing and wireless communication technologies continuously monitors the users' health status. However, the mHealth system raises a severe privacy concern as the data it collects are private information, such as heart rate and blood pressure. In this paper, we propose an efficient and privacy-preserving mHealth data release approach for the statistic...
In cognitive radio networks (CRNs), spectrum database has been well recognized as an effective means to dynamically sharing licensed spectrum among primary users (PUs) and secondary users (SUs). In spectrum database, the protected incumbents (a.k.a. PUs) and the CRs (a.k.a. SUs) are required to register in database their operational specifications such as transmitting power, antenna height, time of...
Mobile location-based services (LBSs) empowered by mobile crowdsourcing provide users with context- aware intelligent services based on user locations. As smartphones are capable of collecting and disseminating massive user location-embedded sensing information, privacy preservation for mobile users has become a crucial issue. This paper proposes a metric called privacy exposure to quantify the notion...
