Redactable signature schemes and sanitizable signature schemes are methods that permit modification of a given digital message and retain a valid signature. This can be applied to decentralized identity systems for delegating identity…
Attribute-Based Encryption (ABE) is a promising solution for access control in cloud services. However, the heavy decryption overhead hinders its widespread adoption. A general approach to address this issue is to outsource decryption to…
With the emergence of privacy leaks in federated learning, secure aggregation protocols that mainly adopt either homomorphic encryption or threshold secret sharing have been widely developed for federated learning to protect the privacy of…
We introduce did:self, a Decentralized Identifier (DID) method that does not depend on any trusted registry for storing the corresponding DID documents. Information for authenticating a did:self subject can be disseminated using any means…
Despite the great potential of Federated Learning (FL) in large-scale distributed learning, the current system is still subject to several privacy issues due to the fact that local models trained by clients are exposed to the central…
This article surveys blockchain-based approaches for several security services. These services include authentication, confidentiality, privacy, and access control list (ACL), data and resource provenance, and integrity assurance. All these…
Compressed sensing (CS), breaking the constriction of Shannon-Nyquist sampling theorem, is a very promising data acquisition technique in the era of multimedia big data. However, the high complexity of CS reconstruction algorithm is a big…
In a traditional cloud storage system, users benefit from the convenience it provides but also take the risk of certain security and privacy issues. To ensure confidentiality while maintaining data sharing capabilities, the…
Blockchain-based sensor networks offer promising solutions for secure and transparent data management in IoT ecosystems. However, efficient set membership proofs remain a critical challenge, particularly in resource-constrained…
Recently, the blockchain technique was put in the spotlight as it introduced a systematic approach for multiple parties to reach consensus without needing trust. However, the application of this technique in practice is severely restricted…
