摘要
Collected data in digital community containing sensitive information about individuals or corporations and such information should be protected. In this paper, a security framework based on （a, k）-anonymity for privacy preserving data collection in digital community is proposed. In our framework, aggregation nodes anonymize the collected data to a basic privacy level. Then, the base stations further anonymize the data to a deeper privacy level with encryption-generalizaiton operations. Experimental results and detailed theory analysis demonstrate that this method is effective in terms of privacy levels and data quality with low resource consumption.
