Mobile crowdsensing (MCS) has gained popularity for its potential to leverage individual mobile devices to sense, collect, and analyze data instead of deploying sensors. As the sensing data become increasingly fine-grained and complicated, there is a tendency to enhance MCS with the edge computing paradigm to reduce time delays and high bandwidth costs. The sensing data may reveal personal information, and thus it is of great significance to preserve the privacy of the participants. However, preserving privacy may hinder the process of handling malicious participants. In this paper, we propose two privacy preserving reputation management schemes for edge computing enhanced MCS to simultaneously preserve privacy and deal with malicious participants. In the basic scheme, a novel reputation value updating method is designed based on the deviations of the encrypted sensing data from the final …
