1. A system for submitting a limited amount of trusted crowdsourced sensor data to cloud service, said system comprising:

  • a memory associated with a mobile computing device, said memory storing no more than a threshold quantity of single-use data tags issued by a data tag authority, said single-use data tags having expiration data associated therewith;

    one or more sensors; and

    a processor programmed to;

    obtain sensor data from at least one of the sensors;

    identify one of the threshold quantity of single-use data tags from the memory based on the expiration data;

    associate the obtained sensor data with the identified single-use data tag to create a trusted crowdsourced packet;

    send the trusted crowdsourced packet to a cloud service for storage;

    after sending the trusted crowdsourced packet to the cloud service for storage, alter the identified single-use data tag in the memory, to prevent re-use of the identified single-use data tag, by altering the expiration data to indicate that the identified single-use data tag has expired.
