Body Area Networks (BANs), collects enormous data by wearable sensors which contain sensitive information such as physical condition, location information, and so on, which needs protection. Preservation of privacy in big data has emerged as an absolute prerequisite for exchanging private data in terms of data analysis, validation, and publishing. Previous methods and traditional methods like k-anonymity and other anonymization techniques have overlooked privacy protection issues resulting to privacy infringement. In this work, a differential privacy protection scheme for ‘big data in body area network’ is developed. Compared with previous methods, the proposed privacy protection scheme is best in terms of availability and reliability. Exploratory results demonstrate that, even when the attacker has full background knowledge, the proposed scheme can still provide enough interference to big sensitive data so as to preserve the privacy.
