Licensed Under Creative Commons Attribution CC BY Survey Paper on Participatory Privacy: Enabling Privacy in Participatory Sensing

Abstract: Participatory Sensing is associate rising computing paradigm that allows the distributed assortment of information by self-selected participants. It permits the increasing variety of movable users to share native information nonheritable by their sensor-equipped devices, e.g., to observe temperature, pollution level or client rating data. Whereas analysis initiatives and prototypes proliferate, their real-world impact is usually finite to comprehensive user participation. If users haven\'t any incentive, or feel that their privacy may well be vulnerable, it\'s doubtless that they\'ll not participate. during this survey paper, we have a tendency to specialize in privacy protection in participatory Sensing and introduce an acceptable privacy-enhanced infrastructure. First, we offer a group of definitions of privacy necessities for each information producers (i.e., users providing detected information) and shoppers (i.e., applications accessing the data). Then, we have a tendency to propose associate economical resolution designed for movable users, that incurs terribly low overhead. Finally, we have a tendency to discuss variety of open issues and doable analysis directions
