Private set intersection (PSI) protocols have many real world applications. With the emergence of cloud computing the need arises to carry out PSI on outsourced datasets where the computation is delegated to the cloud. However, due to the possibility of cloud misbehaviors, it is essential to verify the integrity of any outsourced datasets, and result of delegated computation. Verifiable Computa...

Cloud computing has drastically condensed the computational and storage costs of outsourced data. The existing access control techniques offer users access provisions centered on the common user attributes like Roles, which reduces the fine-grained access measure. The paper defines a Storage Correctness and Fine-grained Access Provision (SCFAP) scheme, that provides the user an exclusive access...

The quality of outsourced IT services can be traced to attributes of the services such as tangibles, responsiveness, reliability, assurance, and empathy. The relative impact of these attributes on client satisfaction varies across different IT services (applications, data center, EUC support, network administration, and help desk), and one or few attributes stand out as “drivers” of client sati...

With the advent of cloud computing, outsourcing databases to remote cloud servers provide the elastic, flexible and affordable dat a management services f or the Internet users. The cloud users can create, store, access and update the remote outsourced databases just as they are using the database system locally. However, unlike storing data in a fullycontrolled local database, storing data in ...

The management of outsourced information systems development (ISD) projects is both complex and problematic due to the type of outsourcing arrangement, the nature of the work that is outsourced, and the relationship between the vendor and client. Moreover, outsourced projects are conducted in an unstructured environment with divergent organizational expectations. Existing project management tec...

In this article, a framework of privacy-preserving inpainting for outsourced image and an encrypted-image scheme are proposed. Different with conventional in plaintext domain, there two entities, that is, content owner restorer, our framework. Content first encrypts his or her damaged privacy protection outsources the encrypted, to who may be cloud server powerful computation capability. Image ...

In order to support outsourced and third party telecommunications applications, there is a desire to modify the Erlang language and execution environment to provide safe and partitioned execution of externally sourced or outsourced programs which are imported and run on a local Erlang system. This paper outlines a possible design approach, and describes the initial prototype.

Cloud servers offer data outsourcing facility to their clients. A client outsources her data without having any copy at her end. Therefore, she needs a guarantee that her data are not modified by the server which may be malicious. Data auditing is performed on the outsourced data to resolve this issue. Moreover, the client may want all her data to be stored untampered. In this chapter, we descr...

Background and Objectives: Prioritizing the services to be outsourced is a crucial challenge toward efficient outsourcing of health services. In spite of fruitful efforts in improving the outsourcing process, there still remains room and need for developing more systematic approaches. The present paper introduces a novel multi-criteria decision making model based on the fuzzy a...
