<![CDATA[It has been estimated that about 20 billion internet of things (IoT) devices are currently connected to the Internet. This has led to voluminous data generation which makes storaging, managing, and decision making on data to be challenging. Hence, exposes users’ privacy to be vulnerable to unauthorized people. To address these issues, this research proposed cost-effective storage for keeping and processing the IoT data in real-time. The proposed Fframework utilized a reliable hybridised data privacy model to protect the personal information of users. An empirically evaluation was done to identify the best models using data k-anonymity (KA), l-diversity (LD), t-closeness (TC), and differential privacy (DP). The performance evaluation of cloud computing and fog computing was done through simulations. The results obtained show that the combination of two data privacy models: differential privacy and k-anonymity models performed better than any individual model and any other combined models in the protection of users’ personal information. Lastly, fog computing was found to perform better than the cloud in terms of latency, energy consumption, network usage and execution time. In conclusion, the current study strongly recommends the use of hybridised privacy model of differential privacy (DP) and k-anonymity (KA) for the protection of IoT generated data privacy.]]>
