Supporting Business Privacy Protection in Wireless Sensor Networks

الملخص EN

With the pervasive use of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) within commercial environments, business privacy leakage due to the exposure of sensitive information transmitted in a WSN has become a major issue for enterprises.

We examine business privacy protection in the application of WSNs.

We propose a business privacy-protection system (BPS) that is modeled as a hierarchical profile in order to filter sensitive information with respect to enterprise-specified privacy requirements.

The BPS aims at solving a tradeoff between metrics that are defined to estimate the utility of information and the business privacy risk.

We design profile, risk assessment, and filtration agents to implement the BPS based on multiagent technology.

The effectiveness of our proposed BPS is validated by experiments.
