Analysis and improvement on identity-based cloud data integrity verification scheme by Shaohui WANG, Xiaoxiao PAN, Zhiwei WANG, Fu XIAO, Ruchuan WANG

“…Many individuals or businesses outsource their data to remote cloud.Cloud storage provides users the advantages of economic convenience,but data owners no longer physically control over the stored data,which introduces new security challenges,such as no security guarantees of integrity and privacy.The security of two identity-based cloud data integrity verification schemes by Zhang et al and Xu et al respectively are analysed.It shows that Zhang et al.’s scheme is subjected to secret key recovery attack for the cloud servers can recover user’s private key only utilizing stored data.And Xu et al.’s scheme cannot satisfy security requirements of soundness.Based on Xu et al.'…”

Attribute generalization mix-zone based on multiple secure computation by Bin WANG, Lei ZHANG, Guoyin ZHANG

“…In order to cope with the problems of resist the attack of user tracking with attributes and resist the disguised attack in road networks,based on the conception of attribute generalization and the methods of homomorphic encryption,a privacy protection method to complete the calculation of attribute generalization in private state and achieve attribute generalization was proposed.The proposed method utilized the homomorphic encryption to achieve secret bidding selection with an agent,and then utilize secure multi-party computation to calculate the similar attributes and achieve the attribute generalization in the end.With the help of fully attribute generalization,this method can solve the problem of users can be tracked by the potential attributes,and at the same time the privacy calculation also does not reveal any information to participants,so this method can prevent the disguised attacker that obtains user’s information in mix-zone.At last,in order to demonstrate the superiority of the proposed method in both of academically and practicality,the security analysis and experimental verification are given,and the procedure of formulation verification and the result of experiment further substantiate the superiorities of the proposed method.…”

Efficient privacy-preserving image retrieval scheme over outsourced data with multi-user by Xiangyu WANG, Jianfeng MA, Yinbin MIAO

“…The traditional privacy-preserving image retrieval schemes not only bring large computational and communication overhead,but also cannot protect the image and query privacy in multi-user scenarios.To solve above problems,an efficient privacy-preserving content-based image retrieval scheme was proposed in multi-user scenarios.The scheme used Euclidean distance comparison technique to rank the pictures according to similarity of picture feature vectors and return top-k returned.Meanwhile,the efficient key conversion protocol designed in proposed image retrieval scheme allowed each search user to generate queries based on his own private key so that he can retrieval encrypted images generated by different data owners.Strict security analysis shows that the user privacy and cloud data security can be well protected during the image retrieval process,and the performance analysis using real-world dataset shows that the proposed image retrieval scheme is efficient and feasible in practical applications.…”
