In Internet of Things(IoT), the combination of cloud computing and edge computing becomes a new computing paradigm to provide users with low-latency data services. However, for the limited resource, high dynamic, and wide distributed characteristics of IoT devices, it becomes a great challenge to realize the universal application of edge servers and the cloud-edge computing allocation. Meanwhile, most of the schemes ignore the leakage of data access pattern privacy when accessing data. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a privacy-preserving access control scheme for IoT data. Based on the cloud-edge-end framework, we design a pervasive edge computing protocol, which allows well-resourced devices to become edge servers at suitable geographic locations and users to outsource and access IoT data through the nearest edge server. It increases the flexibility of the cloud-edge collaborative system as well as the efficiency of data processing. Users do not need to interact beyond the network edge to enjoy the data services. Furthermore, a novel attribute-based encryption scheme is designed based on a modified Lightweight Secret Sharing Scheme to optimize computing task allocation and reduce the computation burden on end devices, without attribute information leakage. In addition, we also design a Transform algorithm and a Cloud-edge Interaction protocol to hide access pattern privacy efficiently. We analyze the feasibility of the scheme and demonstrate that the scheme is semantically secure and conceals access pattern privacy. Simulation experiments based on real IoT data show that the scheme is efficient and suitable for IoT scenarios.
