Proxy re-encryption based multi-factor access control scheme in cloud by Mang SU, Guozhen SHI, Anmin FU, Yan YU, Wei JIN

“…Cloud computing is one of the space-ground integration information network applications.Users can access data and retrieve service easily and quickly in cloud.The confidentiality and integrity of the data cloud have a direct correspondence to data security of the space-ground integration information network.Thus the data in cloud is transferred with encrypted form to protect the information.As an important technology of cloud security,access control should take account of multi-factor and cipher text to satisfy the complex requirement for cloud data protection.Based on this,a proxy re-encryption based multi-factor access control (PRE-MFAC) scheme was proposed.Firstly,the aims and assumptions of PRE-MFAC were given.Secondly,the system model and algorithm was defined.Finally,the security and properties of PRE-MFAC were analyzed.The proposed scheme has combined the PRE and multi-factor access control together and realized the multi-factor permission management of cipher text in cloud.Meanwhile,it can make the best possible use of cloud in computing and storing,then reduce the difficulty of personal user in cryptographic computing and key managing.…”

Approach of location privacy protection based on order preserving encryption of the grid by Nan SHEN, Chun-fu JIA, Shuang LIANG, Rui-qi LI, Zhe-li LIU

“…The centralized structure of the trusted third party is a major privacy protection structure on location based services.However,if the central third party server can not be trusted or compromised,users have the risk of leakage of privacy location.Aiming at the above problems,location privacy protection approach based on a user-defined grid to hide location was proposed.The system first automatically converted the query area into a user-defined grid,and then the approach utilized order preserving encryption,which made the user’s real-time position in the hidden state could still be compared.Because the information in the process of the approach was in a state of encryption,the server could not know the user’s location information,thus improved privacy protection of the user location.The central third party server only need to do simple comparison work,so its processing time overhead would effectively decrease.Security analysis certificate the security of the proposed approach and simulation experimental show the proposed approach can reduce the time cost of the central third party server.…”
