A Numerical Splitting and Adaptive Privacy Budget-Allocation-Based LDP Mechanism for Privacy Preservation in Blockchain-Powered IoT

Kai Zhang, Jiao Tian, Hongwang Xiao, Ying Zhao, Wenyu Zhao, Jinjun Chen

Summary: Blockchain has attracted attention from the IoT research community due to its decentralization and consistency. However, the accessibility of all nodes to the chain data raises privacy concerns. To address this issue, we propose a novel LDP mechanism that splits and perturbs input numerical data using digital bits, without requiring a fixed input range and large data volume. Our adaptive privacy budget allocation model significantly reduces the deviation of the perturbation function and provides high data utility while maintaining privacy.
