Download or read book Engineering Secure Two Party Computation Protocols written by Thomas Schneider and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-08-04 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Secure two-party computation, called secure function evaluation (SFE), enables two mutually mistrusting parties, the client and server, to evaluate an arbitrary function on their respective private inputs while revealing nothing but the result. Originally the technique was considered to be too inefficient for practical privacy-preserving applications, but in recent years rapid speed-up in computers and communication networks, algorithmic improvements, automatic generation, and optimizations have enabled their application in many scenarios. The author offers an extensive overview of the most practical and efficient modern techniques used in the design and implementation of secure computation and related protocols. After an introduction that sets secure computation in its larger context of other privacy-enhancing technologies such as secure channels and trusted computing, he covers the basics of practically efficient secure function evaluation, circuit optimizations and constructions, hardware-assisted garbled circuit protocols, and the modular design of efficient SFE protocols. The goal of the author's research is to use algorithm engineering methods to engineer efficient secure protocols, both as a generic tool and for solving practical applications, and he achieves an excellent balance between the theory and applicability. The book is essential for researchers, students and practitioners in the area of applied cryptography and information security who aim to construct practical cryptographic protocols for privacy-preserving real-world applications.

Download or read book Applications of Secure Multiparty Computation written by P. Laud and published by IOS Press. This book was released on 2015-07-30 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We generate and gather a lot of data about ourselves and others, some of it highly confidential. The collection, storage and use of this data is strictly regulated by laws, but restricting the use of data often limits the benefits which could be obtained from its analysis. Secure multi-party computation (SMC), a cryptographic technology, makes it possible to execute specific programs on confidential data while ensuring that no other sensitive information from the data is leaked. SMC has been the subject of academic study for more than 30 years, but first attempts to use it for actual computations in the early 2000s – although theoretically efficient – were initially not practicable. However, improvements in the situation have made possible the secure solving of even relatively large computational tasks. This book describes how many different computational tasks can be solved securely, yet efficiently. It describes how protocols can be combined to larger applications, and how the security-efficiency trade-offs of different components of an SMC application should be chosen. Many of the results described in this book were achieved as part of the project Usable and Efficient Secure Multi-party Computation (UaESMC), which was funded by the European Commission. The book will be of interest to all those whose work involves the secure analysis of confidential data.

This book was released on 2021-04-23 with total page 2188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the immense amount of data that is now available online, security concerns have been an issue from the start, and have grown as new technologies are increasingly integrated in data collection, storage, and transmission. Online cyber threats, cyber terrorism, hacking, and other cybercrimes have begun to take advantage of this information that can be easily accessed if not properly handled. New privacy and security measures have been developed to address this cause for concern and have become an essential area of research within the past few years and into the foreseeable future. The ways in which data is secured and privatized should be discussed in terms of the technologies being used, the methods and models for security that have been developed, and the ways in which risks can be detected, analyzed, and mitigated. The Research Anthology on Privatizing and Securing Data reveals the latest tools and technologies for privatizing and securing data across different technologies and industries. It takes a deeper dive into both risk detection and mitigation, including an analysis of cybercrimes and cyber threats, along with a sharper focus on the technologies and methods being actively implemented and utilized to secure data online. Highlighted topics include information governance and privacy, cybersecurity, data protection, challenges in big data, security threats, and more. This book is essential for data analysts, cybersecurity professionals, data scientists, security analysts, IT specialists, practitioners, researchers, academicians, and students interested in the latest trends and technologies for privatizing and securing data.

Download or read book Verifiable Delegated Computation on Outsourced Data written by Qingji Zheng and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cloud computing has been an outstanding computing paradigm in the literature. While promising, it also brings a range of security problems that must be adequately addressed. One class of security problem is related to untrusted cloud (i.e., cloud infrastructure vendors and cloud service providers) that might be compromised. While encrypting data outsourced to the cloud can be used to mitigate such threats, it is insufficient to tackle another difficult problem: How can cloud users trust the results which are the outputs of some computing tasks conducted by the clouds ("delegated computation'') on the users' outsourced encrypted data? This problem leads to a general concept of "verifiability'', which has not been investigated sufficiently. This dissertation addresses three problems in this domain, by presenting three families of provably-secure cryptographic protocols. The first contribution deals with the problem: how to allow secure keyword search on outsourced encrypted data while complying with flexible access control policies, and assure that the cloud faithfully followed the search procedures? We introduces the solution concept of "verifiable attribute-based keyword search'', which enables data owners to grant keyword search capability with respect to access control policies and data users to delegate keyword search to the cloud as long as their attributes satisfy the access control policies, and further allows data users to verify that the cloud faithfully executed the search operations. The second contribution is to explore the problem: how can cloud users delegate the set intersection operation to the cloud on their outsourced encrypted data sets, and further verify the correctness of the intersection set returned from the cloud? We introduce the novel notion of "verifiable delegated set intersection on outsourced encrypted data'', which is to delegate the set intersection operation to the cloud, while (i) not giving the decryption capability to the cloud, and (ii) being able to hold the misbehaving cloud accountable. The third contribution concentrates on the problem: How to achieve verifiable SQL queries on outsourced databases? We present an efficient solution to support various SQL queries that include selection, projection, join, and (weighted) aggregation queries? The solution is built on top of two building blocks: an efficient authenticated data structure to support dynamic update on outsourced databases, and newly devised homomorphic linear tag, which can efficiently verify the integrity of query results via aggregation.
