SoK: cryptographically protected database search
Summary
Summary
Protected database search systems cryptographically isolate the roles of reading from, writing to, and administering the database. This separation limits unnecessary administrator access and protects data in the case of system breaches. Since protected search was introduced in 2000, the area has grown rapidly, systems are offered by academia, start-ups...
Bounded-collusion attribute-based encryption from minimal assumptions
Summary
Summary
Attribute-based encryption (ABE) enables encryption of messages under access policies so that only users with attributes satisfying the policy can decrypt the ciphertext. In standard ABE, an arbitrary number of colluding users, each without an authorized attribute set, cannot decrypt the ciphertext. However, all existing ABE schemes rely on concrete...
Cryptography for Big Data security
Summary
Summary
This chapter focuses on state-of-the-art provably secure cryptographic techniques for protecting big data applications. We do not focus on more established, and commonly available cryptographic solutions. The goal is to inform practitioners of new techniques to consider as they develop new big data solutions rather than to summarize the current...
Cryptographically secure computation
Summary
Summary
Researchers are making secure multiparty computation--a cryptographic technique that enables information sharing and analysis while keeping sensitive inputs secret--faster and easier to use for application software developers.
A survey of cryptographic approaches to securing big-data analytics in the cloud
Summary
Summary
The growing demand for cloud computing motivates the need to study the security of data received, stored, processed, and transmitted by a cloud. In this paper, we present a framework for such a study. We introduce a cloud computing model that captures a rich class of big-data use-cases and allows...
