Convolutional neural network model over encrypted data based on functional encryption by Chen WANG, Jiarun LI, Jian XU

“…Currently, homomorphic encryption, secure multi-party computation, and other encryption schemes are used to protect the privacy of sensitive data in outsourced convolutional neural network (CNN) models.However, the computational and communication overhead caused by the above schemes would reduce system efficiency.Based on the low cost of functional encryption, a new convolutional neural network model over encrypted data was constructed using functional encryption.Firstly, two algorithms based on functional encryption were designed, including inner product functional encryption and basic operation functional encryption algorithms to implement basic operations such as inner product, multiplication, and subtraction over encrypted data, reducing computational and communication costs.Secondly, a secure convolutional computation protocol and a secure loss optimization protocol were designed for each of these basic operations, which achieved ciphertext forward propagation in the convolutional layer and ciphertext backward propagation in the output layer.Finally, a secure training and classification method for the model was provided by the above secure protocols in a module-composable way, which could simultaneously protect the confidentiality of user data as well as data labels.Theoretical analysis and experimental results indicate that the proposed model can achieve CNN training and classification over encrypted data while ensuring accuracy and security.…”

Approach to keyword search over encrypted data in cloud by Peng ZHANG, Yan LI, Hai-lun LIN, Rong YANG, Qing-yun LIU

“…With the advent of cloud computing,large-scale data are being increasingly outsourced to the cloud.For the protection of data privacy,sensitive data has to be encrypted before outsourcing,which makes effective data utilization a very challenging task.Although traditional searchable encryption approaches allow users to search over encrypted data through keywords,they don’t capture any relevance of data files,so users have to spend much time on post-processing every retrieved file in order to find ones most matching their interest.Moreover,retrieving all files containing the queried keyword further incurs unnecessary network traffic,which is not accord with pay-as-you-use cloud paradigm.An approach to ranked keyword search over encrypted data in cloud is proposed.Ranked search greatly mitigate the user’s effort by returning the matching files in a ranked order,and also protects the data privacy by order-preserving encryption.Extensive experimental results demonstrate the efficiency.…”

Research on privacy preservation of member inference attacks in online inference process for vertical federated learning linear model by Hongshu YIN, Xuhua ZHOU, Wenjun ZHOU

“…With the development of big data and the introduction of data security regulations, the awareness of privacy protection has gradually increased, and the phenomenon of data isolation has become more and more serious.Federated learning technology as one of the effective methods to solve this problem has become a hot spot of concern.In the online inference process of vertical federated learning, the current mainstream methods do not consider the protection of data identity, which is easy to leak user privacy.A privacy protection method for member inference attacks was proposed in the online inference process of the vertical federated linear model.A filter with a false positive rate was constructed to avoid the accurate positioning of data identity to ensure the security of data.Homomorphic encryption was used to realize the full encrypted state of the online inference process and protect the intermediate calculation results.According to the ciphertext multiplication property of homomorphic encryption, the random number multiplication method was used to mask data, which ensured the security of the final inference result.This scheme further improved the security of user privacy in the online inference process of vertical federated learning and had lower computation overhead and communication costs.…”
