Big Data Privacy Context: Literature Effects On Secure Informational Assets
This article's objective is the identification of research opportunities in
the current big data privacy domain, evaluating literature effects on secure
informational assets. Until now, no study has analyzed such relation. Its
results can foster science, technologies and businesses. To achieve these
objectives, a big data privacy Systematic Literature Review (SLR) is performed
on the main scientific peer reviewed journals in Scopus database. Bibliometrics
and text mining analysis complement the SLR. This study provides support to big
data privacy researchers on: most and least researched themes, research
novelty, most cited works and authors, themes evolution through time and many
others. In addition, TOPSIS and VIKOR ranks were developed to evaluate
literature effects versus informational assets indicators. Secure Internet
Servers (SIS) was chosen as decision criteria. Results show that big data
privacy literature is strongly focused on computational aspects. However,
individuals, societies, organizations and governments face a technological
change that has just started to be investigated, with growing concerns on law
and regulation aspects. TOPSIS and VIKOR Ranks differed in several positions
and the only consistent country between literature and SIS adoption is the
United States. Countries in the lowest ranking positions represent future
research opportunities.Comment: 21 pages, 9 figure
Iris Recognition Approach for Preserving Privacy in Cloud Computing
Biometric identification systems involve securing biometric traits by encrypting them using an encryption algorithm and storing them in the cloud. In recent decades, iris recognition schemes have been considered one of the most effective biometric models for identifying humans based on iris texture, due to their relevance and distinctiveness. The proposed system focuses on encrypting biometric traits. The user’s iris feature vector is encrypted and stored in the cloud. During the matching process, the user’s iris feature vector is compared with the one stored in the cloud. If it meets the threshold conditions, the user is authenticated. Iris identification in cloud computing involves several steps. First, the iris image is pre-processed to remove noise using the Hough transform. Then, the pixel values are normalized, Gabor filters are applied to extract iris features. The features are then encrypted using the AES 128-bit algorithm. Finally, the features of the test image are matched with the stored features on the cloud to verify authenticity. The process ensures the privacy and security of the iris data in cloud storage by utilizing encryption and efficient image processing techniques. The matching is performed by setting an appropriate threshold for comparison. Overall, the approach offers a significant level of safety, effectiveness, and accuracy

Keystroke Biometrics in Response to Fake News Propagation in a Global Pandemic
This work proposes and analyzes the use of keystroke biometrics for content
de-anonymization. Fake news have become a powerful tool to manipulate public
opinion, especially during major events. In particular, the massive spread of
fake news during the COVID-19 pandemic has forced governments and companies to
fight against missinformation. In this context, the ability to link multiple
accounts or profiles that spread such malicious content on the Internet while
hiding in anonymity would enable proactive identification and blacklisting.
Behavioral biometrics can be powerful tools in this fight. In this work, we
have analyzed how the latest advances in keystroke biometric recognition can
help to link behavioral typing patterns in experiments involving 100,000 users
and more than 1 million typed sequences. Our proposed system is based on
Recurrent Neural Networks adapted to the context of content de-anonymization.
Assuming the challenge to link the typed content of a target user in a pool of
candidate profiles, our results show that keystroke recognition can be used to
reduce the list of candidate profiles by more than 90%. In addition, when
keystroke is combined with auxiliary data (such as location), our system
achieves a Rank-1 identification performance equal to 52.6% and 10.9% for a
background candidate list composed of 1K and 100K profiles, respectively.Comment: arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:2004.0362
