In this paper, we present a novel ciphertext-policy attribute based encryption (CP-ABE) scheme that offers a flexible access structure. Our proposed scheme incorporates an access tree as its access control policy, enabling fine-grained…
Substring-searchable symmetric encryption (substring-SSE) has become increasingly critical for privacy-preserving applications in cloud systems. However, existing schemes remain vulnerable to information leakage during search operations,…
Cloud storage has become the backbone of modern data infrastructure, yet privacy and efficient data retrieval remain significant challenges. Traditional privacy-preserving approaches primarily focus on enhancing database security but fail…
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,…
Cloud computing is a revolutionary computing paradigm which enables flexible, on-demand and low-cost usage of computing resources. However, those advantages, ironically, are the causes of security and privacy problems, which emerge because…
Strong confidentiality, integrity, user control, reliability and performance are critical requirements in privacy-sensitive applications. Such applications would benefit from a data storage and sharing infrastructure that provides these…
While the security of the cloud remains a concern, a common practice is to encrypt data before outsourcing them for utilization. One key challenging issue is how to efficiently perform queries over the ciphertext. Conventional crypto-based…
There is an increasing trend for businesses to migrate their systems towards the cloud. Security concerns that arise when outsourcing data and computation to the cloud include data confidentiality and privacy. Given that a tremendous amount…
Protecting the privacy of keywords in the field of search over outsourced cloud data is a challenging task. In IEEE Transactions on Services Computing (Vol. 17 No. 2, March/April 2024), Li et al. proposed PRMKR: efficient privacy-preserving…
With the advent of cloud computing, a number of cloud providers have arisen to provide Storage-as-a-Service (SaaS) offerings to both regular consumers and business organizations. SaaS (different than Software-as-a-Service in this context)…
Recent Searchable Symmetric Encryption (SSE) schemes enable secure searching over an encrypted database stored in a server while limiting the information leaked to the server. These schemes focus on hiding the access pattern, which refers…
In light of the GDPR, data controllers (DC) need to allow data subjects (DS) to exercise certain data subject rights. A key requirement here is that DCs can reliably authenticate a DS. Due to a lack of clear technical specifications, this…
Motivated by privacy preservation for outsourced data, data-oblivious external memory is a computational framework where a client performs computations on data stored at a semi-trusted server in a way that does not reveal her data to the…
Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs), such as Intel Software Guard Extensions (SGX), ensure the confidentiality and integrity of user applications when using cloud computing resources. However, in the multi-party cloud computing scenario,…
Privacy concerns in outsourced cloud databases have become more and more important recently and many efficient and scalable query processing methods over encrypted data have been proposed. However, there is very limited work on how to…
Critical energy infrastructures increasingly rely on information and communication technology for monitoring and control, which leads to new challenges with regard to cybersecurity. Recent advancements in this domain, including…
Advances in technology has given rise to new computing models where any individual/organization (Cloud Service Consumers here by denoted as CSC's) can outsource their computational intensive tasks on their data to a remote Cloud Service…
A distributed storage system (DSS) needs to be efficiently accessible and repairable. Recently, considerable effort has been made towards the latter, while the former is usually not considered, since a trivial solution exists in the form of…
