Abstract
The deployment of IoT devices is gaining an expanding interest in our daily life. Indeed, IoT networks consist in interconnecting several smart and resource constrained devices to enable advanced services. Security management in IoT is a big challenge as personal data are shared by a huge number of distributed services and devices. In this paper, we propose a Cooperative Data Aggregation solution based on a novel use of Attribute Based signcryption scheme (\(\mathsf {Coop}\)-\(\mathsf {DAAB}\)). \(\mathsf {Coop}\)-\(\mathsf {DAAB}\) consists in distributing data signcryption operation between different participating entities (i.e., IoT devices). Indeed, each IoT device encrypts and signs in only one step the collected data with respect to a selected sub-predicate of a general access predicate before forwarding to an aggregating entity. This latter is able to aggregate and decrypt collected data if a sufficient number of IoT devices cooperates without learning any personal information about each participating device. Thanks to the use of an attribute based signcryption scheme, authenticity of data collected by IoT devices is proved while protecting them from any unauthorized access.

Notes
- 1.
Assigning sub-access dummy and genuine predicates may be set via activating a flag F, where \(F= 0\) presents a genuine sub-access predicate and \(F=1\) denotes a dummy sub-access predicate.
- 2.
\(\mathsf {Coop}\)-\(\mathsf {DAAB}\) relies on the aggregate algorithm \(\mathtt {aggreg}\) introduced by Delerablee et al. [9].
- 3.
For ease of presentation, we consider that all received signcrypted contents are correctly verified.
