Practical Privacy-preserving High-order Bi-Lanczos in Integrated Edge-Fog-Cloud Architecture for Cyber-Physical-Social Systems

摘要

Smart environments, also referred to as cyber-physical-social systems (CPSSs), are expected to significantly benefit from the integration of edge, fog, and cloud for intelligence service flexibility, efficiency, and cost saving. High-order Bi-Lanczos method has emerged as a powerful tool serving as multi-dimensional data processing, such as prevailing feature extraction, classification, and clustering of high-order data, in CPSSs. However, integrated edge-fog-cloud architecture is open and users have very limited control; how to carry out big data processing without compromising the security and privacy is a challenging issue in edge-fog-cloud-assisted smart applications. In this work, we propose a novel and practical privacy-preserving high-order Bi-Lanczos scheme in integrated edge-fog-cloud architectural paradigm for smart environments. More precisely, we first propose a privacy-preserving big data processing model using the synergy of edge, fog, and cloud. The proposed model enables edge, fog, and cloud to cooperatively complete big data processing without compromising users' privacy for large-scale tensor data in CPSSs. Subsequently, making use of the model, we present a privacy-preserving high-order Bi-Lanczos scheme. Finally, we theoretically and empirically analyze the security and efficiency of the proposed privacy-preserving high-order Bi-Lanczos scheme based on an intelligent surveillance system case study. And the results demonstrate that the proposed scheme provides a privacy-preserving and efficient way of computations in integrated edge-fog-cloud paradigm for smart environments.
