DATA COLLECTING SYSTEM, DATA COLLECTING APPARATUS, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM

摘要

A data collecting system includes a central server and at least one edge server capable of bi-directionally communicating with the central server. The edge server includes a collecting unit that collects data generated by a group of devices, and an output processing unit that encrypts the collected data and transmits the encrypted data to the central server. The encryption of the collected data is performed in accordance with an encryption policy that defines encryption schemes for different combinations of a device type and a data type.
