Hybrid cloud approach for block-level deduplication and searchable encryption in large universe

Ciphertext-policy attribute-based searchable encryption (CP-ABSE) can achieve fine-grained access control for data sharing and retrieval, and secure deduplication can save storage space by eliminating duplicate copies. However, there are seldom schemes supporting both searchable encryption and secure deduplication. In this paper, a large universe CP-ABSE scheme supporting secure block-level deduplication are proposed under a hybrid cloud mechanism. In the proposed scheme, after the ciphertext is inserted into bloom filter tree (BFT), private cloud can perform fine-grained deduplication efficiently by matching tags, and public cloud can search efficiently using homomorphic searchable method and keywords matching. Finally, the proposed scheme can achieve privacy under chosen distribution attacks block-level (PRV-CDA-B) secure deduplication and match-concealing (MC) searchable security. Compared with existing schemes, the proposed scheme has the advantage in supporting fine-grained access control, block-level deduplication and efficient search, simultaneously.

云存储中密文数据的客户端安全去重方案

云存储环境下,客户端数据去重能在本地进行文件重复性检测,有效地节约存储空间和网络带宽.然而,客户端去重仍面临着很多安全挑战.首先,由于将文件哈希值作为重复性检测的证据,攻击者很可能通过一个文件的哈希值获得整个文件;其次,为了保护数据隐私,收敛加密被广泛运用于数据去重方案,但是由于数据本身是可预测的,所以收敛加密仍不可避免地遭受暴力字典攻击.为了解决上述问题,本文首次利用盲签名构造了一个安全的密钥生成协议,通过引入一个密钥服务器,实现了对收敛密钥的二次加密,有效地预防了暴力字典攻击;并进一步提出了一个基于块密钥签名的拥有权证明方法,能够有效预防攻击者通过单一的哈希值来获取文件,并能同时实现对密文文件的文件级和块级去重.同时,安全分析表明本文方案在随机预言模型下是可证明安全的,并能够满足收敛密钥安全、标签一致性和抗暴力字典攻击等更多安全属性.此外,与现有方案相比,实验结果表明本文方案在文件上传和文件去重方面的计算开销相对较小.

Secure grid-based density peaks clustering on hybrid cloud for industrial IoT

Cloud computing gives clients the convenience of outsourcing data calculations. However, it also brings the risk of privacy leakage, and datasets that process industrial IoT information have a high computational cost for clients. To address these problems, this paper proposes a secure grid-based density peaks clustering algorithm for a hybrid cloud environment. First, the client utilizes the homomorphic encryption algorithm to construct encrypted objects with client dataset. Second, the client uploads the encrypted data to the cloud servers to implement our security protocol. Finally, the cloud servers return the clustering results with the disturbance to the client. The experimental results on the UCI datasets and the smart power grid dataset reveal that the secure algorithm presented in this paper can improve upon the precision and efficiency of other clustering algorithms while also preserving user privacy. Moreover, it only performs encryption and removes the disturbance operation on the client, so that the client has lower computational complexity. Therefore, the secure clustering scheme proposed in this paper is applicable to industrial IoT big data and has high security and scalability.

New method for file deduplication in cloud storage

Deduplication is widely used in cloud storage service to save bandwidth and storage resources,however,the security of client deduplication still flaws in an external attack to access a user’s private data.Xu-CDE,a deduplication solution of encrypting data for multi-client was first proposed,which could protect the privacy of data from the external attackers and honest but curious server,with favorable theoretical meaning and representativeness.However,in Xu-CDE,the user ownership authentication credentials were lack of instantaneity protection,which could not resist replay attack.As an improvement to the flaw,the protocol MRN-CDE (MLE based and random number modified client-side deduplication of encrypted data in cloud storage) was proposed,adding random number in order to ensure the instantaneity of the authentication credentials,and using the algorithm of MLE-K_Pto extract key from original file to replace the file itself as an encryption key.As a consequence,the new protocol improved security while significantly reduced the amount of computation.After the safety analysis and the actual tests,results show that based on Xu-CDE,the proposed protocol MRN-CDE has stronger security of ownership,and improves time efficiency.Specially,the new protocol works better on large files in cloud with a certain value.

Secure and privacy-preserving DRM scheme using homomorphic encryption in cloud computing

Cloud computing provides a convenient way of content trading and sharing. In this paper, we propose a secure and privacy-preserving digital rights management （DRM） scheme using homomorphic encryption in cloud computing. We present an efficient digital rights management framework in cloud computing, which allows content provider to outsource encrypted contents to centralized content server and allows user to consume contents with the license issued by license server. Further, we provide a secure content key distribution scheme based on additive homomorphic probabilistic public key encryption and proxy re-encryption. The provided scheme prevents malicious employees of license server from issuing the license to unauthorized user. In addition, we achieve privacy preserving by allowing users to stay anonymous towards the key server and service provider. The analysis and comparison results indicate that the proposed scheme has high efficiency and security.     

Request Merging Based Cross-User Deduplication for Cloud Storage with Resistance Against App ending Chunks Attack

Cross-user deduplication is an emerging technique to eliminate redundant uploading in cloud storage. Its deterministic response indicating the existence of data creates a side channel to attackers, which makes the privacy in the cloud at risk. Such kind of attack as well as further appending chunks attack, still cannot be well resisted in current solutions, thus is becoming a big obstacle in using this technique. We propose a secure cross-user deduplication, called Request merging based deduplication scheme (RMDS), which takes the lead to consider resistance against appending chunks attack in a lightweight way, let alone side channel attack. We utilize the proposed XOR based chunk-level server-side storage structure together with a request merging strategy to obfuscate attackers in minimized communication overhead. The experiment results show that, with security guaranteed, the proposed scheme is more efficient comparing with the state of the art.

一种云存储数据确定性删除方案（英文）

In order to provide a practicable solution to data confidentiality in cloud storage service,a data assured deletion scheme,which achieves the fine grained access control,hopping and sniffing attacks resistance,data dynamics and deduplication,is proposed.In our scheme,data blocks are encrypted by a two-level encryption approach,in which the control keys are generated from a key derivation tree,encrypted by an All-OrNothing algorithm and then distributed into DHT network after being partitioned by secret sharing.This guarantees that only authorized users can recover the control keys and then decrypt the outsourced data in an ownerspecified data lifetime.Besides confidentiality,data dynamics and deduplication are also achieved separately by adjustment of key derivation tree and convergent encryption.The analysis and experimental results show that our scheme can satisfy its security goal and perform the assured deletion with low cost.

UCAP:a PCL secure user authentication protocol in cloud computing

As the combine of cloud computing and Internet breeds many flexible IT services,cloud computing becomes more and more significant.In cloud computing,a user should be authenticated by a trusted third party or a certification authority before using cloud applications and services.Based on this,a protocol composition logic (PCL) secure user authentication protocol named UCAP for cloud computing was proposed.The protocol used a symmetric encryption symmetric encryption based on a trusted third party to achieve the authentication and confidentiality of the protocol session,which comprised the initial authentication phase and the re-authentication phase.In the initial authentication phase,the trusted third party generated a root communication session key.In the re-authentication phase,communication users negotiated a sub session key without the trusted third party.To verify the security properties of the protocol,a sequential compositional proof method was used under the protocol composition logic model.Compared with certain related works,the proposed protocol satisfies the PCL security.The performance of the initial authentication phase in the proposed scheme is slightly better than that of the existing schemes,while the performance of the re-authentication phase is better than that of other protocols due to the absence of the trusted third party.Through the analysis results,the proposed protocol is suitable for the mutual authentication in cloud computing.     

Secure personal data sharing in cloud computing using attribute-based broadcast encryption

The ciphertext-policy (CP) attribute-based encryption (ABE) (CP-ABE) emergings as a promising technology for allowing users to conveniently access data in cloud computing. Unfortunately, it suffers from several drawbacks such as decryption overhead, user revocation and privacy preserving. The authors proposed a new efficient and privacy-preserving attribute-based broadcast encryption (BE) (ABBE) named EP-ABBE, that can reduce the decryption computation overhead by partial decryption, and protect user privacy by obfuscating access policy of ciphertext and user's attributes. Based on EP-ABBE, a secure and flexible personal data sharing scheme in cloud computing was presented, in which the data owner can enjoy the flexibly of encrypting personal data using a specified access policy together with an implicit user index set. With the proposed scheme, efficient user revocation is achieved by dropping revoked user's index from the user index set, which is with very low computation cost. Moreover, the privacy of user can well be protected in the scheme. The security and performance analysis show that the scheme is secure, efficient and privacy-preserving.
