Outsourcing data in the cloud has become nowadays very common. Since -- generally speaking -- cloud data storage and management providers cannot be fully trusted, mechanisms providing the confidentiality of the stored data are necessary. A…
String similarity models are vital for record linkage, entity resolution, and search. In this work, we present STANCE --a learned model for computing the similarity of two strings. Our approach encodes the characters of each string, aligns…
Cloud servers offer data outsourcing facility to their clients. A client outsources her data without having any copy at her end. Therefore, she needs a guarantee that her data are not modified by the server which may be malicious. Data…
Computation outsourcing is an integral part of cloud computing. It enables end-users to outsource their computational tasks to the cloud and utilize the shared cloud resources in a pay-per-use manner. However, once the tasks are outsourced,…
This paper presents a novel donor data selection method to enhance low-resource automatic speech recognition (ASR). While ASR performs well in high-resource languages, its accuracy declines in low-resource settings due to limited training…
Bilinear pairing is a fundamental operation that is widely used in cryptographic algorithms (e.g., identity-based cryptographic algorithms) to secure IoT applications. Nonetheless, the time complexity of bilinear pairing is $O(n^3)$, making…
Homomorphic encryption, which enables the execution of arithmetic operations directly on ciphertexts, is a promising solution for protecting privacy of cloud-delegated computations on sensitive data. However, the correctness of the…
A decision tree is an easy-to-understand tool that has been widely used for classification tasks. On the one hand, due to privacy concerns, there has been an urgent need to create privacy-preserving classifiers that conceal the user's input…
Cloud computing enables clients with limited computational power to economically outsource their large scale computations to a public cloud with huge computational power. Cloud has the massive storage, computational power and software which…
Businesses, governmental bodies and NGO's have an ever-increasing amount of data at their disposal from which they try to extract valuable information. Often, this needs to be done not only accurately but also within a short time frame.…
Feature selection is a technique that extracts a meaningful subset from a set of features in training data. When the training data is large-scale, appropriate feature selection enables the removal of redundant features, which can improve…
Outsourcing encrypted data to the cloud creates a fundamental tension between data privacy and functional searchability. Current Searchable Symmetric Encryption (SSE) solutions frequently have significant limitations, such as excessive…
The task of calculating similarities between strings held by different organizations without revealing these strings is an increasingly important problem in areas such as health informatics, national censuses, genomics, and fraud detection.…
As tremendous amount of data being generated everyday from human activity and from devices equipped with sensing capabilities, cloud computing emerges as a scalable and cost-effective platform to store and manage the data. While benefits of…
Searchable symmetric encryption (SSE) allows the data owner to outsource an encrypted database to a remote server in a private manner while maintaining the ability for selectively search. So far, most existing solutions focus on an…
Even though cloud computing provides many intrinsic benefits, privacy concerns related to the lack of control over the storage and management of the outsourced data still prevent many customers from migrating to the cloud. Several…
Secure outsourced computation (SOC) provides secure computing services by taking advantage of the computation power of cloud computing and the technology of privacy computing (e.g., homomorphic encryption). Expanding computational…
Motivated by the problem of simultaneously preserving confidentiality and usability of data outsourced to third-party clouds, we present two different database encryption schemes that largely hide data but reveal enough information to…
Voice, as input, has progressively become popular on mobiles and seems to transcend almost entirely text input. Through voice, the voice search (VS) system can provide a more natural way to meet user's information needs. However, errors…
Outsourcing data storage to the remote cloud can be an economical solution to enhance data management in the smart grid ecosystem. To protect the privacy of data, the utility company may choose to encrypt the data before uploading them to…
