Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for performing privacy transformation of data to protect privacy in data analytics under the multi-access edge computing environment. In particular, a policy receiver in an edge server receives privacy instructions. Inference determiner in the edge server in a data analytics pipeline receives data from an IoT device and evaluates the data to recognize data associated with personally identifiable information. Privacy data transformer transforms the received data with inference for protecting data privacy by preventing exposure of private information from the edge server. In particular, the privacy data transformer dynamically selects a technique among techniques for removing information that is subject to privacy protection and transforms the received data using the technique. The techniques includes reducing resolution of image data such that inference enables object recognition without sufficient details to prevent other servers in the data analytics pipeline to determine identifies of the object deeper inferences.
