An User-centric MIX-net Protocol to Protect Privacy∗
نویسنده
چکیده
“MIX-net” systems protect the privacy of participants by clouding together their transactions through cascades of third parties. Reliability and trust are therefore open issues in this literature and limit the applicability of these systems. This paper discusses how the MIX approach can be adapted to put the user at the center of the protocol and in control of it, so that each participant can take active steps to protect his or her privacy. The paper also highlights various possible uses of the protocol. Being “in control” comes at a cost, however, and the paper discusses the trade-offs arising from the proposed approach.

In secure multiparty computation (SMC), a group of users jointly and securely computes a mathematical function on their private inputs, such that the privacy of their private inputs will be preserved. One of the widely used applications of SMC is the secure multiparty summation which securely computes the summation value of the users’ private inputs. In this paper, we consider a secure multipar...

The issue of online privacy and security is a challenging subject, as it concerns the privacy of data that are increasingly more accessible via the internet. In other words, people who intend to access the private information of other users can do so more efficiently over the internet. This study is an attempt to address the privacy issue of distributed big data in the context of cloud computin...
متن کاملPrivacy-preserving, user-centric VoIP CAPTCHA challenges: An integrated solution in the SIP environment
Purpose In this work we argue that it is possible to address discrimination issues that naturally arise in contemporary audio CAPTCHA challenges and potentially enhance the effectiveness of audio CAPTCHA systems by adapting the challenges to the user characteristics. Design/methodology/approach We design a prototype, called PrivCAPTCHA, to offer privacy-preserving, user-centric CAPTCHA challeng...
متن کاملA User-Centric Protocol for Conditional Anonymity Revocation
This paper presents and evaluates an improved anonymity revocation protocol. This protocol can be used to strengthen anonymity revocation capability in a privacy-enhancing identity management system. This protocol is user-centric, abuse-resistant, and it provides enforceable conditions fulfillment. We assume the existence of 1 honest referee out of t designated referees (t > 1) chosen by users,...
متن کاملImproving Helios with Everlasting Privacy Towards the Public
In this paper we propose improvements on the Helios voting protocol such that the audit data published by the authority provides everlasting privacy, as opposed to the computational privacy provided currently. We achieve this with minor adjustments to the current implementation. For the homomorphic Helios variant we use Pedersen commitments to encode the vote, together with homomorphic encrypti...
