| Abstract | The presented project report comprises of two different modules, namely: (i) ppTcpThermister, Privacy Preserving Temperature Estimation Using TCP Clock Skew, and (ii) Privacy-friendly Aggregation for the Smart-grid. ppTcpThermister is a Low Cost Privacy Preserving System for Probabilistic Estimation of Ambient Room Temperature by observing the TCP clock Timings and analyzing them against those obtained from an ideally positioned reference system to obtain Clock Skews. Since nowadays, a lot of investment is being done in the field of energy monitoring to optimize on the energy consumption part of the story, ppTcpThermister is able to provide us with a rough estimate of the ambient temperature of a particular system whose skew is measured, and since the temperature controlling appliances are the major consumers of electric power, we are indirectly able to get a coarse estimate of overall power consumption. This all is possible without us having to install any sensor or a dedicated network since all we require is a general workstation connected to any local network, which is generally the case in almost all institutions and offices. Thus, this setup brings down costs to a very large extent and since it gives only rough estimates, no personnel identity of a user is leaked, adding a privacy preserving component to the overall system. The second module concentrates upon the privacy concerns of widespread de- ployment of smart meters for electricity and water consumption to modernize the relevant system. In this module, we discuss about a few protocols that can be used to privately compute aggregate meter measurements, allowing for fraud and leakage detection as well as further statistical pro- cessing of meter measurements, without revealing any additional information about the individual meter readings. Simulation results later show the performance based analysis of the protocols, thus providing a true picture of as to what all upsides and downsides are faced in using these protocols. |
