Various cryptographic techniques are used in outsourced database systems to ensure data privacy while allowing for efficient querying. This work proposes a definition and components of a new secure and efficient outsourced database system,…

The Domain Name System (DNS) does not provide query privacy. Query obfuscation schemes have been proposed to overcome this limitation, but, so far, they have not been evaluated in a realistic setting. In this paper we evaluate the security…

Pre-shared keys (PSK) have been widely used in network security. Nonetheless, existing PSK solutions are not scalable. Moreover, whenever a new user joins a network, PSK requires an existing user to get a new key before they are able to…

It is now cost-effective to outsource large dataset and perform query over the cloud. However, in this scenario, there exist serious security and privacy issues that sensitive information contained in the dataset can be leaked. The most…

Code obfuscation is a major tool for protecting software intellectual property from attacks such as reverse engineering or code tampering. Yet, recently proposed (automated) attacks based on Dynamic Symbolic Execution (DSE) shows very…

With the many benefits of cloud computing, an entity may want to outsource its data and their related analytics tasks to a cloud. When data are sensitive, it is in the interest of the entity to outsource encrypted data to the cloud;…

Recently, several practical attacks raised serious concerns over the security of searchable encryption. The attacks have brought emphasis on forward privacy, which is the key concept behind solutions to the adaptive leakage-exploiting…

Amidst the burgeoning landscape of database architectures, the surge in NoSQL databases has heralded a transformative era, liberating data storage from traditional relational constraints and ushering in unprecedented scalability. As…

At CCS 2015 Naveed et al. presented first attacks on efficiently searchable encryption, such as deterministic and order-preserving encryption. These plaintext guessing attacks have been further improved in subsequent work, e.g. by Grubbs et…

As cloud computing becomes prevalent in recent years, more and more enterprises and individuals outsource their data to cloud servers. To avoid privacy leaks, outsourced data usually is encrypted before being sent to cloud servers, which…

Searchable symmetric encryption (SSE) has been used to protect the confidentiality of genomic data while providing substring search and range queries on a sequence of genomic data, but it has not been studied for protecting single…

Searchable symmetric encryption schemes often unintentionally disclose certain sensitive information, such as access, volume, and search patterns. Attackers can exploit such leakages and other available knowledge related to the user's…

Cloud Service Providers, such as Google Cloud Platform, Microsoft Azure, or Amazon Web Services, offer continuously evolving cloud services. It is a growing industry. Businesses, such as Netflix and PayPal, rely on the Cloud for data…

As organizations struggle with processing vast amounts of information, outsourcing sensitive data to third parties becomes a necessity. To protect the data, various cryptographic techniques are used in outsourced database systems to ensure…

For better data availability and accessibility while ensuring data secrecy, organizations often tend to outsource their encrypted data to the cloud storage servers, thus bringing the challenge of keyword search over encrypted data. In this…

Searchable encryption (SE) is a positive way to protect users sensitive data in cloud computing setting, while preserving search ability on the server side, i.e., it allows the server to search encrypted data without leaking information…

Fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) and trusted execution environments (TEE) are two approaches to provide confidentiality during data processing. Each approach has its own strengths and weaknesses. In certain scenarios, computations can be…

Format Preserving Encryption (FPE) schemes encrypt a plaintext into a ciphertext while preserving its format (e.g., a valid social-security number is encrypted into a valid social-security number), thus allowing encrypted data to be stored…

Prior research primarily examined differentially-private continual releases against data streams, where entries were immutable after insertion. However, most data is dynamic and housed in databases. Addressing this literature gap, this…

Data Distribution Service (DDS) is an innovative approach towards communication in ICS/IoT infrastructure and robotics. Being based on the cross-platform and cross-language API to be applicable in any computerised device, it offers the…
