Recently, cloud storage and processing have been widely adopted. Mobile users in one family or one team may automatically backup their photos to the same shared cloud storage space. The powerful face detector trained and provided by a 3rd party may be used to retrieve the photo collection which contains a specific group of persons from the cloud storage server. However, the privacy of the mobil...

In cloud computing, users usually outsource their private data to the cloud storage to save the local storage space and reduce the management costs. Cloud storage is a commonly used cloud computing service which enables users to remotely access data in a cloud anytime and anywhere, using any device, in a pay-as-you-go manner. To protect the confidentiality and privacy of the stored data on the ...

This paper illustrates various content sharing systems that take advantage of cloud’s storage and computational resources as well as their supporting conventional technologies. First, basic technology concepts supporting cloud-based systems from a client-server to cloud computing as well as their relationships and functional linkages are shown. Second, the taxonomy of cloud-based system models ...

This article describes the development of an information system for managing register serialized items based on a cloud service. Cloud services provide ability to access computer equipment, hardware resources, disk memory and databases via Internet in remote format. The developed belongs type retrieval system. Examples include: renting virtual server; contact center; application rental; data st...

Nowadays,more andmore Internet users use the cloud storage services to store their personal data, especially when the mobile devices which have limited storage capacity popularize. With the cloud storage services, the users can access their personal data at any time and anywhere without storing the data at local. However, the cloud storage service provider is not completely trusted. Therefore, ...

Biometric authentication is becoming increasingly popular as a convenient authentication method. However, the privacy and security issues associated with biometric authentication are very serious. Privacy-preserving biometric authentication addresses privacy concerns associated with the use of biometrics and offers a secure solution for user authentication. Given the tremendous expansion of wir...

During the last few years there has been a tremendous and efficient improvement in the computational world and one of the area that is leaving its footprints is cloud computing. One of the main trending issue in this computing is traffic redundancy elimination (TRE).Cloud-based TRE needs to apply a judicious use of cloud resources so that the bandwidth cost reduction is optimized together with ...

This proposal examines a cost effective design that integrates cloud-based storage with a local file server network. Our design focus was constrained on small to medium institutions with a total storage limit of 1TB. The proposed design shifts external backup of a server to the cloud.

Due to its low cost, robustness, flexibility and ubiquitous nature, cloud computing is changing the way entities manage their data. However, various privacy concerns arise whenever potentially sensitive data is outsourced to the cloud. This paper presents a novel approach for coping with such privacy concerns. The proposed scheme prevents the cloud server from learning any possibly sensitive pl...
