Title A name given to the resource A novel multi functional multi parameter concealed cluster based data aggregation scheme for wireless sensor networks (NMFMP-CDA) Subject The topic of the resource Asymmetric privacy homomorphism; Clustering; Data aggregation; Elliptic curve cryptography; Multiple parameters aggregation; Security; Wireless sensor network Description An account of the resource Data aggregation is a promising solution for minimizing the communication overhead by merging redundant data thereby prolonging the lifetime of energy starving Wireless Sensor Network (WSN). Deployment of heterogeneous sensors for measuring different kinds of physical parameter requires the aggregator to combine diverse data in a smooth and secure manner. Supporting multi functional data aggregation can reduce the transmission cost wherein the base station can compute multiple statistical operations in one query. In this paper, we propose a novel secure energy efficient scheme for aggregating data of diverse parameters by representing sensed data as number of occurrences of different range value using binary encoded form thereby enabling the base station to compute multiple statistical functions over the obtained aggregate of each single parameter in one query. This also facilitates aggregation at every hop with less communication overhead and allows the network size to grow dynamically which in turn meets the need of large scale WSN. To support the recovery of parameter wise elaborated view from the multi parameter aggregate a novelty is employed in additive aggregation. End to end confidentiality of the data is secured by adopting elliptic curve based homomorphic encryption scheme. In addition, signature is attached with the cipher text to preserve the data integrity and authenticity of the node both at the base station and the aggregator which filters out false data at the earliest there by saving bandwidth. The efficiency of the proposed scheme is analyzed in terms of computation and communication overhead with respect to various schemes for various network sizes. This scheme is also validated against various attacks and proved to be efficient for aggregating more number of parameters. To the best of our understanding, our proposed scheme is the first to meet all of the above stated quality measures with a good performance. 2020, Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature.
