Cloud platforms are widely adopted by many systems, such as time series processing systems, to store and process massive amounts of sensitive time series data. Unfortunately, several incidents have shown that cloud platforms are vulnerable…
Oblivious Transfer (OT) is a fundamental cryptographic protocol that finds a number of applications, in particular, as an essential building block for two-party and multi-party computation. We construct a round-optimal (2 rounds)…
We live in a world where our personal data are both valuable and vulnerable to misappropriation through exploitation of security vulnerabilities in online services. For instance, Dropbox, a popular cloud storage tool, has certain security…
Suppose a client, Alice, has outsourced her data to an external storage provider, Bob, because he has capacity for her massive data set, of size n, whereas her private storage is much smaller--say, of size O(n^{1/r}), for some constant r >…
Motivated by the applications of secure multiparty computation as a privacy-protecting data analysis tool, and identifying oblivious transfer as one of its main practical enablers, we propose a practical realization of randomized quantum…
Approximate nearest neighbor (ANN) search in AI systems increasingly handles sensitive data on third-party infrastructure. Trusted execution environments (TEEs) offer protection, but cost-efficient deployments must rely on external SSDs,…
Based on quantum entanglement, an all-or-nothing oblivious transfer protocol is proposed and is proven to be secure. The distinct merit of the present protocol lies in that it is not based on quantum bit commitment. More intriguingly, this…
We present priority queues in the cache-oblivious external memory model with block size $B$ and main memory size $M$ that support on $N$ elements, operation \textsc{UPDATE} (combination of \textsc{INSERT} and \textsc{DECREASEKEY}) in $O…
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…
In this work, we investigate if statistical privacy can enhance the performance of ORAM mechanisms while providing rigorous privacy guarantees. We propose a formal and rigorous framework for developing ORAM protocols with statistical…
We demonstrate a simple, statistically secure, ORAM with computational overhead $\tilde{O}(\log^2 n)$; previous ORAM protocols achieve only computational security (under computational assumptions) or require $\tilde{\Omega}(\log^3 n)$…
This paper presents the design and implementation of Obladi, the first system to provide ACID transactions while also hiding access patterns. Obladi uses as its building block oblivious RAM, but turns the demands of supporting transactions…
Data confidentiality is becoming a significant concern, especially in the cloud computing era. Memory access patterns have been demonstrated to leak critical information such as security keys and a program's spatial and temporal…
In this paper we present randomized algorithms for sorting and convex hull that achieves optimal performance (for speed-up and cache misses) on the multicore model with private cache model. Our algorithms are cache oblivious and generalize…
Oblivious routing is an attractive paradigm for large distributed systems in which centralized control and frequent reconfigurations are infeasible or undesired (e.g., costly). Over the last almost 20 years, much progress has been made in…
We consider Oblivious Shuffling and K-Oblivious Shuffling, a refinement thereof. We provide efficient algorithms for both and discuss their application to the design of Oblivious RAM. The task of K-Oblivious Shuffling is to obliviously…
Intel SGX has been a popular trusted execution environment (TEE) for protecting the integrity and confidentiality of applications running on untrusted platforms such as cloud. However, the access patterns of SGX-based programs can still be…
We study oblivious storage (OS), a natural way to model privacy-preserving data outsourcing where a client, Alice, stores sensitive data at an honest-but-curious server, Bob. We show that Alice can hide both the content of her data and the…
Quantum random-access memory (QRAM) is a mechanism to access data (quantum or classical) based on addresses which are themselves a quantum state. QRAM has a long and controversial history, and here we survey and expand arguments and…
A framework is proposed for the design and analysis of \emph{network-oblivious algorithms}, namely, algorithms that can run unchanged, yet efficiently, on a variety of machines characterized by different degrees of parallelism and…
