An Effective Private Data storage and Retrieval System using Secret sharing scheme based on Secure Multi-party Computation
Privacy of the outsourced data is one of the major challenge.Insecurity of
the network environment and untrustworthiness of the service providers are
obstacles of making the database as a service.Collection and storage of
personally identifiable information is a major privacy concern.On-line public
databases and resources pose a significant risk to user privacy, since a
malicious database owner may monitor user queries and infer useful information
about the customer.The challenge in data privacy is to share data with
third-party and at the same time securing the valuable information from
unauthorized access and use by third party.A Private Information Retrieval(PIR)
scheme allows a user to query database while hiding the identity of the data
retrieved.The naive solution for confidentiality is to encrypt data before
outsourcing.Query execution,key management and statistical inference are major
challenges in this case.The proposed system suggests a mechanism for secure
storage and retrieval of private data using the secret sharing technique.The
idea is to develop a mechanism to store private information with a highly
available storage provider which could be accessed from anywhere using queries
while hiding the actual data values from the storage provider.The private
information retrieval system is implemented using Secure Multi-party
Computation(SMC) technique which is based on secret sharing. Multi-party
Computation enable parties to compute some joint function over their private
inputs.The query results are obtained by performing a secure computation on the
shares owned by the different servers.Comment: Data Science & Engineering (ICDSE), 2014 International Conference,

Private Outsourcing of Polynomial Evaluation and Matrix Multiplication using Multilinear Maps
{\em Verifiable computation} (VC) allows a computationally weak client to
outsource the evaluation of a function on many inputs to a powerful but
untrusted server. The client invests a large amount of off-line computation and
gives an encoding of its function to the server. The server returns both an
evaluation of the function on the client's input and a proof such that the
client can verify the evaluation using substantially less effort than doing the
evaluation on its own. We consider how to privately outsource computations
using {\em privacy preserving} VC schemes whose executions reveal no
information on the client's input or function to the server. We construct VC
schemes with {\em input privacy} for univariate polynomial evaluation and
matrix multiplication and then extend them such that the {\em function privacy}
is also achieved. Our tool is the recently developed {mutilinear maps}. The
proposed VC schemes can be used in outsourcing {private information retrieval
(PIR)}.Comment: 23 pages, A preliminary version appears in the 12th International
