Deep Binarized Convolutional Neural Network Inferences over Encrypted Data

Homomorphic encryption provides a way to perform deep learning over encrypted data and permits the user to encrypt the data before uploading, leaving the control of data on the user side. However, operations on encrypted data based on homomorphic …

An Efficient Attribute-based Multi-Keyword Search Scheme in Encrypted Keyword Generation

With the growing popularity of cloud computing in recent years, data owners (DOs) now prefer to outsource their data to cloud servers and allow the specific data users (DUs) to retrieve the data. Searchable encryption is an important tool to provide …

Post quantum proxy signature scheme based on the multivariate public key cryptographic signature

Proxy signature is a very useful technique which allows the original signer to delegate the signing capability to a proxy signer to perform the signing operation. It finds wide applications especially in the distributed environment where the entities …

Optimizing Investments in Cyber Hygiene for Protecting Healthcare Users

Cyber hygiene measures are often recommended for strengthening an organization’s security posture, especially for protecting against social engineering attacks that target the human element. However, the related recommendations are typically the same …

DT-CP: a Double-TTPs Based Contract-Signing Protocol With Lower Computational Cost

This paper characterizes a contract signing protocol with high efficiency in Internet of Things. Recent studies show that existing contract-signing protocols can achieve abuse-freeness and resist inference attack, but cannot meet the high-efficiency …

A New Encrypted Data Switching Protocol: Bridging IBE and ABE Without Loss of Data Confidentiality

Encryption technologies have become one of the most prevalent solutions to safeguard data confidentiality in many real-world applications, e.g., cloud-based data storage systems. Encryption outputting a relatively “static” format of encrypted data, …

TAW: Cost-Effective Threshold Authentication with Weights for Internet of Things

In the Internet of Things, based on the collaboration of sensing nodes, sensing data are collected and transmitted. The collaboration of sensing nodes also plays an important role in the safeguard of the Internet of Things. Owing to the limited …

Quantum-Resistant Identity-Based Signature with Message Recovery and Proxy Delegation

Digital signature with proxy delegation, which is a secure ownership enforcement tool, allows an original signer to delegate signature rights to a third party called proxy, so that the proxy can sign messages on behalf of the original signer. Many …
