With the increasing popularity of cloud computing, more and more sensitive or private information has been outsourced onto the cloud server. For protecting data privacy, sensitive data usually has to be encrypted before outsourcing, which makes traditional search techniques based on plaintext useless. In response to the search over encrypted data, searchable encryption is a good solution in Inf...

The cloud computing platform gives people the ability to share resources, services and information among people from all over the world. In the increasing popularity of cloud computing, more and more data owners are motivated to outsource their data into cloud servers for great convenience and reduced costs in data management. The sensitive data should before the outsourcing of data protection ...

In this paper, we advocate an alternative signal processing based approach to searchable encryption architectures allowing to find non-exact or similar matches in the encrypted domain. The proposed approach is based on a modified architecture, where the main computational load is reallocated to a data user, who challenges an unsecure server by multiple requests, while the role of the server is ...

We present an approach where one can execute user defined SPARQL queries on encrypted graph data. The graph data is only partially revealed to those users authorized for executing a query. The approach is based on eight different types of queries, corresponding to the different binding possibilities in a single SPARQL triple pattern. The allowed queries can be further restricted by the owner of...

Data is an important asset of today’s dynamically operating organizations and their businesses. Data is usually stored in databases. An important issue for IT professionals is to secure such data from unauthorized access and intruders. For protecting business centric data, many levels of security are used. Among these levels, data encryption is the final layer of security. Although encryption m...

Metadata management is a key issue in intelligent Webbased environments. It plays an important role in a wide spectrum of areas, ranging from semantic explication, information handling, knowledge management, multimedia processing to personalized service delivery. As a result, security issues around metadata management needs to be addressed in order to build trust and confidence to ambient envir...

CryptDB is a DBMS that provides provable and practical privacy in the face of a compromised database server or curious database administrators. CryptDB works by executing SQL queries over encrypted data. At its core are three novel ideas: an SQL-aware encryption strategy that maps SQL operations to encryption schemes, adjustable query-based encryption which allows CryptDB to adjust the encrypti...

As genome sequencing technology develops rapidly, there has lately been an increasing need to keep genomic data secure even when stored in the cloud and still used for research. In this paper, we are interested in designing a protocol for the secure outsourcing matching problem on encrypted data. We propose an efficient method to securely search a matching position with the query data and extra...
