IoT-Applicable Generalized Frameproof Combinatorial Designs

Abstract

Secret sharing schemes are widely used to protect data by breaking the secret into pieces and sharing them amongst various members of a party. In this paper, our objective is to produce a repairable ramp scheme that allows for the retrieval of a share through a collection of members in the event of its loss. Repairable Threshold Schemes (RTSs) can be used in cloud storage and General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) protocols. Secure and energy-efficient data transfer in sensor-based IoTs is built using ramp-type schemes. Protecting personal privacy and reinforcing the security of electronic identification (eID) cards can be achieved using similar schemes. Desmedt et al. introduced the concept of frameproofness in 2021, which motivated us to further improve our construction with respect to this framework. We introduce a graph theoretic approach to the design for a well-rounded and easy presentation of the idea and clarity of our results. We also highlight the importance of secret sharing schemes for IoT applications, as they distribute the secret amongst several devices. Secret sharing schemes offer superior security in lightweight IoT compared to symmetric key encryption or AE schemes because they do not disclose the entire secret to a single device, but rather distribute it among several devices.

Enhancing Safety on Construction Sites: A UWB-Based Proximity Warning System Ensuring GDPR Compliance to Prevent Collision Hazards

“…At the same time, “the controller shall implement appropriate technical and organisational measures for ensuring that, by default, only personal data which are necessary for each specific purpose of the processing are processed”. Those principles, generally known under the names of privacy-by-design and privacy-by-default, were already investigated in many application fields such as electronic identification (eID) [ 47 ], electronic health records [ 48 ], and Smart Buildings [ 49 ]. Nevertheless, to the best of authors knowledge, no one has disclosed privacy-by-design insights in applying PWSs to construction site monitoring and management.…”
