Fault-Tolerant Privacy-Preserving Statistics

چکیده
Real-time statistics on smart meter consumption data must preserve consumer privacy and tolerate smart meter failures. Existing protocols for this private distributed aggregation model suffer from various drawbacks that disqualify them for application in the smart energy grid. Either they are not fault-tolerant or if they are, then they require bidirectional communication or their accuracy decreases with an increasing number of failures. In this paper, we provide a protocol that fixes these problems and furthermore, supports a wider range of exchangeable statistical functions and requires no group key management. A key-managing authority ensures the secure evaluation of authorized functions on fresh data items using logical time and a custom zero-knowledge proof providing differential privacy for an unbounded number of statistics calculations. Our privacy-preserving protocol provides all the properties that make it suitable for use in the smart energy grid.

متن کاملPrivacy-Preserving Stream Aggregation with Fault Tolerance
We consider applications where an untrusted aggregator would like to collect privacy sensitive data from users, and compute aggregate statistics periodically. For example, imagine a smart grid operator who wishes to aggregate the total power consumption of a neighborhood every ten minutes; or a market researcher who wishes to track the fraction of population watching ESPN on an hourly basis. We...

DESIGNING DISTANCE-PRESERVING FAULT-TOLERANT TOPOLOGIES By Sitarama Swamy Kocherlakota The objective of designing a fault-tolerant communication network (CN) is to maintain its functionality in the presence of failures. The approaches taken in designing fault-tolerant systems can be classified, in general, by the functionality criteria. There are two functionality criteria that have received mu...
متن کاملRealization of a Novel Fault Tolerant Reversible Full Adder Circuit in Nanotechnology
In parity preserving reversible circuit, the parity of the input vector must match the parity of the output vector. It renders a wide class of circuit faults readily detectable at the circuit’s outputs. Thus reversible logic circuits that are parity preserving will be beneficial to the development of fault tolerant systems in nanotechnology. This paper presents an efficient realization of well ...
