Privacy by Encrypted Databases
نویسندگان
چکیده
There are a few reliable privacy mechanisms for cloud applications. Data usually needs to be decrypted in order to be processed by the cloud service provider. In this paper we explore how an encrypted database can (technically) ensure privacy. We study the use case of a mobile personalized healthcare app. We show that an encrypted database can ensure data protection against a cloud service provider. Furthermore we show that if privacy is considered in application design, higher protection levels can be achieved, although encrypted database are a transparent privacy and security mechanism.

Cryptanalysis of Basic Bloom Filters Used for Privacy Preserving Record Linkage
Linking databases containing information on individual characteristics and behavior is of increasing scientific and commercial interest. In many applications, linking databases has to be done without a unique personal number. Hence, due to privacy concerns, privacy preserving record linkage (PPRL) is used most often. In this context encrypted personal quasi-identifiers such as first names, surn...
متن کاملPrivacy-preserving Semantic Interoperation of Heterogeneous Databases
Two major challenges to enabling secure interoperation among web-information sources are resolving semantic heterogeneity across websites and maintaining the privacy of the data and metadata of organizations owning the websites. In this paper, we propose SACE, a novel, implemented middleware toolkit that enables privacy-preserving secure semantic access control and allows queries to be answered...

With the development of cloud computing and big data, data privacy protection has become an urgent problem to solve. Data encryption is the most effective way to protect privacy; however, it will change the data format and result in: 1. database structure and application software will be changed; 2. structured query language (SQL) operations cannot work properly, especially in SQL-based fuzzy q...

With the advancement of cloud computing technologies and the propagation of locationbased services, research on outsourced spatial databases has been spotlighted. Therefore, the traditional spatial databases owners want to outsource their resources to a service provider so that they can reduce cost for storage and management. However, the issue of privacy preservation is crucial in spatial data...
متن کاملPrivacy-preserving record linkage using Bloom filters
BACKGROUND Combining multiple databases with disjunctive or additional information on the same person is occurring increasingly throughout research. If unique identification numbers for these individuals are not available, probabilistic record linkage is used for the identification of matching record pairs. In many applications, identifiers have to be encrypted due to privacy concerns. METHOD...
