Building Confidential and Efficient Query Services in the Cloud with RASP Data Perturbation
With the wide deployment of public cloud computing infrastructures, using
clouds to host data query services has become an appealing solution for the
advantages on scalability and cost-saving. However, some data might be
sensitive that the data owner does not want to move to the cloud unless the
data confidentiality and query privacy are guaranteed. On the other hand, a
secured query service should still provide efficient query processing and
significantly reduce the in-house workload to fully realize the benefits of
cloud computing. We propose the RASP data perturbation method to provide secure
and efficient range query and kNN query services for protected data in the
cloud. The RASP data perturbation method combines order preserving encryption,
dimensionality expansion, random noise injection, and random projection, to
provide strong resilience to attacks on the perturbed data and queries. It also
preserves multidimensional ranges, which allows existing indexing techniques to
be applied to speedup range query processing. The kNN-R algorithm is designed
to work with the RASP range query algorithm to process the kNN queries. We have
carefully analyzed the attacks on data and queries under a precisely defined
threat model and realistic security assumptions. Extensive experiments have
been conducted to show the advantages of this approach on efficiency and
security.Comment: 18 pages, to appear in IEEE TKDE, accepted in December 201
POSTER: Privacy-preserving Indoor Localization
Upcoming WiFi-based localization systems for indoor environments face a
conflict of privacy interests: Server-side localization violates location
privacy of the users, while localization on the user's device forces the
localization provider to disclose the details of the system, e.g.,
sophisticated classification models. We show how Secure Two-Party Computation
can be used to reconcile privacy interests in a state-of-the-art localization
system. Our approach provides strong privacy guarantees for all involved
parties, while achieving room-level localization accuracy at reasonable
overheads.Comment: Poster Session of the 7th ACM Conference on Security & Privacy in
