Privacy-protected crowd-sensed data trading algorithm

To solve the problem that data privacy leakage of participants under the crowd-sensed data trading model, a privacy-protected crowd-sensed data trading algorithm was proposed.Firstly, to achieve the privacy protection of participants, an aggregation scheme based on differential privacy was designed.Participants were no longer needed to upload raw data, but analyzed and calculated the collected data according to the task requirements, and then sent the analysis results to the platform after adding noise in accordance with the privacy budget allocated by the platform to protect their privacy.Secondly, in order to ensure the credibility of participants, a reputation model of participants was proposed.Finally, in order to encourage consumers and participants to participate in transactions, a data trading optimization model was constructed by considering the consumer’s constraint on the result deviation，the participant’s privacy leakage compensation and platform profit, and a POA based on genetic algorithm was proposed to solve the model.The simulation results show that the POA not only protects the privacy of participants, but also increases the profit of the platform by 29.27% and 20.45% compared to VENUS and DPDT, respectively.
