With the ongoing evolution of the industrial internet, including its interconnectivity across various sectors like the electric power industry, the potential for sensitive data to traverse different domains increases, thereby altering the composition of sensitive data. Consequently, traditional approaches reliant on sensitive vocabularies struggle to adequately address the challenges posed by identifying sensitive data in the era of information abundance. Drawing inspiration from advancements in natural language processing within the realm of deep learning, we propose a transferable <jats:bold>S<\/jats:bold>ensitive <jats:bold>D<\/jats:bold>ata <jats:bold>I<\/jats:bold>dentification method based on <jats:bold>P<\/jats:bold>roduct <jats:bold>Q<\/jats:bold>uantization, named <jats:bold>PQ-SDI<\/jats:bold>. This innovative approach harnesses both the composition and contextual cues within textual data to accurately pinpoint sensitive information within the context of Mobile Edge Computing (MEC). Notably, PQ-SDI exhibits proficiency not only within a singular domain but also demonstrates adaptability to new domains following training on heterogeneous datasets. Moreover, the method autonomously identifies sensitive data throughout the entire process, eliminating the necessity for human upkeep of sensitive vocabularies. Extensive experimentation with the PQ-SDI model across four real-world datasets, resulting in performance improvements ranging from 2% to 5% over the baseline model and achieves an accuracy of up to 94.41%. In cross-domain trials, PQ-SDI achieved comparable accuracy to training and identification within the same domain. Furthermore, our experiments showcased the product quantization technique significantly reduces the parameter size by tens of times for the subsequent sensitive data identification phase, particularly beneficial for resource-constrained environments characteristic of MEC scenarios. This inherent advantage not only bolsters sensitive data protection but also mitigates the risk of data leakage during transmission, thus enhancing overall security measures in MEC environments.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1186\/s13677-024-00662-4","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,8]],"date-time":"2024-05-08T01:01:29Z","timestamp":1715130089000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["A mobile edge computing-focused transferable sensitive data identification method based on product quantization"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Xinjian","family":"Zhao","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Guoquan","family":"Yuan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shuhan","family":"Qiu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Chenwei","family":"Xu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shanming","family":"Wei","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,8]]},"reference":[{"issue":"5","key":"662_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1809","DOI":"10.1007\/s11280-021-00943-x","volume":"25","author":"F Wang","year":"2022","unstructured":"Wang F, Wang L, Li G et al (2022) Edge-cloud-enabled matrix factorization for diversified apis recommendation in mashup creation.
