• Abstract: With the popularity of smart terminals, such as the Internet of Things, crowdsensing is an emerging data aggregation paradigm, which plays a pivotal role in data-driven applications. There are some key issues in the development of crowdsensing such as platform security and privacy protection. As the crowdsensing is usually managed by a centralized platform, centralized management will bring various security vulnerabilities and scalability issues. To solve these issues, an effective reputation-based partition scheme (RSPC) is proposed in this article. The partition scheme calculates the optimal partition size by combining the node reputation value and divides the node into several disjoint partitions according to the node reputation value. By selecting the appropriate partition size, RSPC provides a mechanism to ensure that each partition is valid, as long as themaximum permissible threshold for the failed node is observed. At the same time, the RSPC reorganizes the network periodically to avoid partition attacks. In addition, for cross-partition transactions, this paper innovatively proposes a four-stage confirmation protocol to ensure the efficient and safe completion of cross-partition transactions. Finally, experiments show that RSPC improves scalability, low latency, and high throughput for crowdsensing.
