Efficient Privacy-Preserving Multi-Dimensional Data Aggregation Scheme in Smart Grid

Abstract

Smart grid, characterized by high efficiency, security, and flexibility, is gradually replacing the traditional power grid. Data aggregation technology is frequently used to avoid user privacy disclosure as a result of power consumption data transmission in the smart grid. However, traditional one-dimensional data aggregation schemes fail to meet the demands of fine-grained analysis. Therefore, this paper proposes an efficient privacy-preserving multi-dimensional data aggregation (P2MDA) scheme in smart grid by virtue of homomorphic encryption and superincreasing sequence. The security analysis indicates that the proposed scheme is proved to be secure in the random oracle model, satisfying all security and privacy requirements. The extensive performance analysis shows that in comparison to the related schemes, the proposed scheme achieves lowest computation and communication costs, thus appropriate for practical applications.
