An oblivious data structure is a data structure where the memory access patterns reveals no information about the operations performed on it. Such data structures were introduced by Wang et al. [ACM SIGSAC'14] and are intended for…
Algorithms for oblivious random access machine (ORAM) simulation allow a client, Alice, to obfuscate a pattern of data accesses with a server, Bob, who is maintaining Alice's outsourced data while trying to learn information about her data.…
As secure processors such as Intel SGX (with hyperthreading) become widely adopted, there is a growing appetite for private analytics on big data. Most prior works on data-oblivious algorithms adopt the classical PRAM model to capture…
Hardware enclaves such as Intel SGX are a promising technology for improving the security of databases outsourced to the cloud. These enclaves provide an execution environment isolated from the hypervisor/OS, and encrypt data in RAM.…
Oblivious RAM simulation is a method for achieving confidentiality and privacy in cloud computing environments. It involves obscuring the access patterns to a remote storage so that the manager of that storage cannot infer information about…

Write-Only Oblivious RAM (WoORAM) protocols provide privacy by encrypting the contents of data and also hiding the pattern of write operations over that data. WoORAMs provide better privacy than plain encryption and better performance than…
We study the problem of providing privacy-preserving access to an outsourced honest-but-curious data repository for a group of trusted users. We show that such privacy-preserving data access is possible using a combination of probabilistic…
An oblivious pseudorandom function (OPRF) is a protocol by which a client and server interact to evaluate a pseudorandom function on a key provided by the server and an input provided by the client, without divulging the key or input to the…
