Traditional approaches generally focus on the privacy of user’s identity in a smart IoT environment. Privacy of user’s behavior pattern is an important research issue to address smart technology towards improving user’s life. User’s behavior pattern consists of daily living activities in smart IoT environment. Sensor nodes directly interact with activities of user and forward sensing data to service provider server (SPS). While availing the services provided by a server, users may lose privacy since the untrusted devices have information about user’s behavior pattern and it may share data with adversary. In order to resolve this problem, we propose a multilevel privacy controlling scheme (MPCS) which is different from traditional approaches. MPCS is divided into two parts: (i) behavior pattern privacy degree (BehaviorPrivacyDeg), which works as follows: firstly, frequent pattern mining-based time-duration algorithm (FPMTA) finds the normal pattern of activity by adopting unsupervised learning. Secondly, patterns compact algorithm (PCA) is proposed to store and compact the mined pattern in each sensor device. Then, abnormal activity detection time-duration algorithm (AADTA) is used by current triggered sensors, in order to compare the current activity with normal activity by computing similarity among them; (ii) multilevel privacy design model: we have divided privacy of users into four levels in smart IoT environment, and by using these levels, the server can configure privacy level for users according to their concern. Multilevel privacy design model consists of privacy-level configuration protocol (PLCP) and activity design model. PLCP provides fine privacy controls to users while enabling users to set privacy level. In PLCP, we introduce level concern privacy algorithm (LCPA) and location privacy algorithm (LPA), so that adversary could not damage the data of user’s behavior pattern. Experiments are performed to evaluate the accuracy and feasibility of MPCS in both simulation and real-case studies. Results show that our proposed scheme can significantly protect the user’s behavior pattern by detecting abnormality in real time.
