Private Key based query on encrypted data

Authors

Abstract:

Nowadays, users of information systems have inclination to use a central server to decrease data transferring and maintenance costs. Since such a system is not so trustworthy, users' data usually upkeeps encrypted. However, encryption is not a nostrum for security problems and cannot guarantee the data security. In other words, there are some techniques that can endanger security of encrypted data. Majority of existing methods for encrypted data management have some critical defects such as cryptanalysis attacks, encryption/decryption overhead, and inefficient data storing and retrieval. In this paper, at first we propose a prototype model of private key based search on encrypted data. Then we try to improve it significantly to meet security requirements. Our main goal is to offer a practical method of querying arbitrary words on encrypted data using a minimal trust model. Moreover, we present a model for balancing between performance and security based on user's requirements. In comparison with other methods, query response time is improved and the probability of statistical deductions is reduced.

Private Query on Encrypted Data in Multi-user Settings

Searchable encryption schemes allow users to perform keyword based searches on an encrypted database. Almost all existing such schemes only consider the scenario where a single user acts as both the data owner and the querier. However, most databases in practice do not just serve one user; instead, they support search and write operations by multiple users. In this paper, we systematically stud...

Blind and Anonymous Identity-Based Encryption and Authorised Private Searches on Public Key Encrypted Data

Searchable encryption schemes provide an important mechanism to cryptographically protect data while keeping it available to be searched and accessed. In a common approach for their construction, the encrypting entity chooses one or several keywords that describe the content of each encrypted record of data. To perform a search, a user obtains a trapdoor for a keyword of her interest and uses t...

Private Searching on Encrypted Data in Cloud

Cloud computing appeared as the most common paradigm in the time being that provides calculations and storage resources by when used – pay method. Users can exploit cloud resources from anywhere at any time without maintenance cost. Flexibility in resource allocation enabled cloud services to be effective in delivering with reasonable cost. However, transfer data to cloud make it vulnerable to ...

Private Computation on Encrypted Genomic Data

A number of databases around the world currently host a wealth of genomic data that is invaluable to researchers conducting a variety of genomic studies. However, patients who volunteer their genomic data run the risk of privacy invasion. In this work, we give a cryptographic solution to this problem: to maintain patient privacy, we propose encrypting all genomic data in the database. To allow ...

Private predictive analysis on encrypted medical data

Increasingly, confidential medical records are being stored in data centers hosted by hospitals or large companies. As sophisticated algorithms for predictive analysis on medical data continue to be developed, it is likely that, in the future, more and more computation will be done on private patient data. While encryption provides a tool for assuring the privacy of medical information, it limi...

Secure Count Query on Encrypted Genomic Data

Human genomic information can yield more effective healthcare by guiding medical decisions. Therefore, genomics research is gaining popularity as it can identify potential correlations between a disease and a certain gene, which improves the safety and efficacy of drug treatment and can also develop more effective prevention strategies [1]. To reduce the sampling error and to increase the stati...
