    Abstract
    The rapid proliferation of sensor-embedded devices has enabled crowdsensing, a new paradigm which effectively collects sensing data from pervasive users. However, both the openness of crowdsensing systems and the richness of users' submitted data raise significant concerns for privacy and security. In this thesis, we aim to identify and solve privacy and security issues in crowdsensing. Specifically, we consider three important parts in crowdsensing: task allocation, incentive mechanisms, and truth discovery. In crowdsensing systems, task allocation is used to select a proper subset of users to perform tasks. Incentive mechanisms are used to stimulate users to participate in the system. Truth discovery is used to aggregate data. We first analyze privacy issues in task allocation and incentive mechanisms raised by the inference attack in which a user is able to infer other users' sensitive information according to published information. We propose two task allocation algorithms which defend against location-inference attack. To protect users' bid privacy from inference attack, we propose two frameworks for privacy-preserving incentive mechanisms. Then, we analyze the security issues in incentive mechanisms and truth discovery raised by the Sybil attack in which a user illegitimately pretends to be multiple identities to gain benets. To deter users from conducting a Sybil attack, we propose Sybil-proof incentive mechanisms for both offline and online scenarios. Additionally, we propose a Sybil-resistant truth discovery framework to diminish the impact of the Sybil attack on the aggregated data. Both simulation and experiment results show the effectiveness of the proposed works in solving privacy and security issues in crowdsensing.

    Export search results

    The export option will allow you to export the current search results of the entered query to a file. Different formats are available for download. To export the items, click on the button corresponding with the preferred download format.

    By default, clicking on the export buttons will result in a download of the allowed maximum amount of items.

    To select a subset of the search results, click "Selective Export" button and make a selection of the items you want to export. The amount of items that can be exported at once is similarly restricted as the full export.

    After making a selection, click one of the export format buttons. The amount of items that will be exported is indicated in the bubble next to export format.
