Interoperability remains the key problem in multi-discipline collaboration based on building information modeling (BIM). Although various methods have been proposed to solve the technical issues of interoperability, such as data sharing and…
Secret sharing allows a user to split a secret into many shares so that the secret can be recovered if, and only if, an authorized set of shares is collected. Although secret sharing typically does not require any computational hardness…
Recent developments in cloud storage architectures have originated new models of online storage as cooperative storage systems and interconnected clouds. Such distributed environments involve many organizations, thus ensuring…
Encrypted cloud storage can hide data contents but still leak sensitive information through access patterns. ORAM addresses this by hiding access patterns, but existing ORAM systems are too inefficient to deploy in practice. We present…
Cloud service providers offer various facilities to their clients. The clients with limited resources opt for some of these facilities. They can outsource their bulk data to the cloud server. The cloud server maintains these data in lieu of…
Social networks, instant messages and file sharing systems are common communication means among friends, families, coworkers, etc. Due to concerns of personal privacy, identify thefts, data misuse, freedom of speech and government…
The usage of different technologies and smart devices helps people to get medical services remotely for multiple benefits. Thus, critical and sensitive data is exchanged between a user and a doctor. When health data is transmitted over a…
We present a practical implementation of a secure multiparty computation application enabled by quantum oblivious transfer (QOT) on an entanglement-based physical layer. The QOT protocol uses polarization-encoded entangled states to share…
This paper introduces the first two-dimensional XOR-based secret sharing scheme for layered multipath communication networks. We present a construction that guarantees successful message recovery and perfect privacy when an adversary…
Many applications benefit from computations over the data of multiple users while preserving confidentiality. We present a solution where multiple mutually distrusting users' data can be aggregated with an acceptable overhead, while…
Authentication and authorization of a user's identity are generally done by the service providers or identity providers. However, these centralized systems limit the user's control of their own identity and are prone to massive data leaks…
Quantum Computing (QC) threatens the cryptographic foundations of Cloud Computing (CC), exposing distributed infrastructures to novel attack vectors. This survey provides comprehensive analysis of quantum-safe cloud security, examining…
Private Set Intersection (PSI) is a vital cryptographic technique used for securely computing common data of different sets. In PSI protocols, often two parties hope to find their common set elements without needing to disclose their…
Privacy-preserving data processing refers to the methods and models that allow computing and analyzing sensitive data with a guarantee of confidentiality. As cloud computing and applications that rely on data continue to expand, there is an…
Accessing data from distributed computing is essential in many workflows, but can be complicated for users of cyberinfrastructure. They must perform multiple steps to make data available to distributed computing using unfamiliar tools.…
Distributed communities of researchers rely increasingly on valuable, proprietary, or sensitive datasets. Given the growth of such data, especially in fields new to data-driven, computationally intensive research like the social sciences…
Today's mobile devices sense, collect, and store huge amounts of personal information, which users share with family and friends through a wide range of applications. Once users give applications access to their data, they must implicitly…
We propose and experimentally evaluate a novel secure aggregation algorithm targeted at cross-organizational federated learning applications with a fixed set of participating learners. Our solution organizes learners in a chain and encrypts…
Cloud computing is recognized as one of the most promising solutions to information technology, e.g., for storing and sharing data in the web service which is sustained by a company or third party instead of storing data in a hard drive or…
With the development of sensor network, mobile computing, and web applications, data are now collected from many distributed sources to form big datasets. Such datasets can be hosted in the cloud to achieve economical processing. However,…
