Blockchain for privacy preservation in smart grid based IoT applications


Author(s): Shankha SP

Abstract: Initially, the data aggregation scheme is based on a Trusted Third Party (TTP). In order to maintain the data utility and the single user privacy, we propose the privacy-preserving data aggregation. It leads to the feasible solution in data analysis. In this system we propose the data aggregation without TTP instead we construct the virtual aggregation area to mask the single user’s data. The aggregated result does not affect the data utility and reduces the communication overhead. It also improves the robust and efficiency of this system in terms of security analysis and performance evaluation of the system. Thus this virtual aggregation area is introduced to make the proposed method more practicable with accurate aggregation results Here the proposed system consists of an Operation Center (OC), a Data Collection Unit (DCU) and n number of Smart Meters (SMs). SM collects the input data. Information collected may include but is not limited to dispatch instructions, utility bills, and real-time power reports. The DCU then periodically updates OC with data. DCU compiles the information from the virtual space and sends it on to OC. You can do some serious data analysis with this aggregated output. Here, personal information is concealed inside the aggregated statistics. As a result, it seeks to ensure privacy and security by using measures like authentication and encryption. Consequently, IoT data is obscured at the group level by aggregation, making inference of critical information in a single Iot system more difficult. We then test the concept on an internal Ethereum blockchain and provide our findings.
