AI-Powered database (AI-DB) is a novel relational database system that uses a self-supervised neural network, database embedding, to enable semantic SQL queries on relational tables. In this paper, we describe an architecture and…
We study secure and privacy-preserving data analysis based on queries executed on samples from a dataset. Trusted execution environments (TEEs) can be used to protect the content of the data during query computation, while supporting…
Differential privacy (DP) is widely employed to provide privacy protection for individuals by limiting information leakage from the aggregated data. Two well-known models of DP are the central model and the local model. The former requires…
Privacy-preserving record linkage (PPRL) aims at integrating sensitive information from multiple disparate databases of different organizations. PPRL approaches are increasingly required in real-world application areas such as healthcare,…
Homomorphic encryption (HE) offers data confidentiality by executing queries directly on encrypted fields in the database-as-a-service (DaaS) paradigm. While fully HE exhibits great expressiveness but prohibitive performance overhead, a…
In recent years, cloud database storage has become an inexpensive and convenient option for businesses and individuals to store information. While its positive aspects make the cloud extremely attractive for data storage, it is a relatively…
Location-based services are getting more popular day by day. Finding nearby stores, proximity-based marketing, on-road service assistance, etc., are some of the services that use location-based services. In location-based services, user…
Outsourcing a relational database to the cloud offers several benefits, including scalability, availability, and cost-effectiveness. However, there are concerns about the security and confidentiality of the outsourced data. A general…
Model protection is vital when deploying Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) for commercial services, due to the massive costs of training them. In this work, we propose a selective encryption (SE) algorithm to protect CNN models from…
Privacy leaks are an unfortunate and an integral part of the current Internet domain name resolution. Each DNS query generated by a user reveals -- to one or more DNS servers -- the origin and target of that query. Over time, a user's…
Traffic systems are multi-agent cyber-physical systems whose performance is closely related to human welfare. They work in open environments and are subject to uncertainties from various sources, making their performance hard to verify by…
Selective image encryption is common in remote sensing systems because it protects sensitive regions of interest (ROI) while limiting computational cost. However, many selective designs enable cross-tile structural leakage under…
Conventional database architectures often secure local consistency by discarding information, entangling correctness with loss. We introduce the Functorial-Categorical Database (FCDb), which models data operations as morphisms in a layered…
Quantum databases open an exciting new frontier in data management by offering privacy guarantees that classical systems cannot match. Traditional engines tackle user privacy, which hides the records being queried, or data privacy, which…
As data collection and analysis become critical functions for many cloud applications, proper data sharing with approved parties is required. However, the traditional data sharing scheme through centralized data escrow servers may sacrifice…
A private information retrieval (PIR) scheme is a protocol that allows a user to retrieve a file from a database without revealing the identity of the desired file to a curious database. Given a distributed data storage system, efficient…
Blockchain transactions have gained widespread adoption across various industries, largely attributable to their unparalleled transparency and robust security features. Nevertheless, this technique introduces various privacy concerns,…
Structured Query Language (SQL) has remained the standard query language for databases. SQL is highly optimized for processing structured data laid out in relations. Meanwhile, in the present application development landscape, it is highly…
A database is a prime target for cyber-attacks as it contains confidential, sensitive, or protected information. With the increasing sophistication of the internet and dependencies on internet data transmission, it has become vital to be…
Graph databases have garnered extensive attention and research due to their ability to manage relationships between entities efficiently. Today, many graph search services have been outsourced to a third-party server to facilitate storage…
