M2M Data Pseudonymization Using Protection-Aware Resource Creation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing M2M systems lack effective methods for anonymizing and pseudonymizing data, particularly personal information, which is essential for compliance with regulations like GDPR and PIPA, and there is a need for protecting data within machine-to-machine communication.
Innovation Solution
A method and device for identifying protection regulations and mechanisms, transmitting resource creation requests with associated protection information, and creating resources with attributes for anonymization or pseudonymization to protect personal information in M2M systems.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If data is transmitted without anonymization or pseudonymization in M2M systems, then communication efficiency and system simplicity are maintained, but data protection compliance and privacy security deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by performing anonymization or pseudonymization processing on data before it is transmitted or stored in the M2M system. The home gateway or server anonymizes/pseudonymizes personal information in advance, ensuring data protection compliance is established before data enters the communication pipeline, thus avoiding the need for complex real-time protection mechanisms throughout the system.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary mechanism through the home gateway or server that acts as a mediator between data generation and data transmission/storage. This intermediary component performs the anonymization or pseudonymization function, separating the data protection responsibility from the end devices and centralizing it in a dedicated component, thereby simplifying the overall system architecture while ensuring compliance.
2Reliability
If anonymization or pseudonymization processing is applied to data, then data protection and privacy security are improved, but processing time and computational resources increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs anonymization or pseudonymization processing in advance before data is transmitted or stored, rather than processing it in real-time during communication operations. This preliminary processing approach ensures that when data is accessed or transmitted, the protection is already in place, minimizing the impact on communication time and system performance.
3Reliability
If resource creation requests include protection regulation and mechanism information, then data protection compliance is improved, but message complexity and information overhead increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent includes protection regulation and mechanism information in the resource creation request message in advance, so that the server can properly handle and store the data with appropriate protection measures before any access operations occur. This ensures compliance information is established at the point of data entry, avoiding the need for repeated compliance checks and information exchanges during subsequent operations.

AI summary
The present disclosure relates to a liveness identify in a machine-to-machine (M2M) system, and a method for operating an M2M device may include identifying a protection regulation applied to data, identifying a protection mechanism applied to the data, and transmitting a resource creation request message including information indicating the protection regulation and the protection mechanism to a second M2M device, and the data may include personal information or privacy information that is generated by an application executed in the M2M device.
