Background: Cloud storage is generally used to provide on-demand services with sufficient scalability in an efficient network environment, and various encryption algorithms are typically applied to protect the data in the cloud. However, it is non-trivial to obtain the original data after encryption and efficient methods are needed to access the original data. Methods: In this paper, we propose a new user-controlled and efficient encrypted data sharing model in cloud storage. It preprocesses user data to ensure the confidentiality and integrity based on triple encryption scheme of CP-ABE ciphertext access control mechanism and integrity verification. Moreover, it adopts secondary screening program to achieve efficient ciphertext retrieval by using distributed Lucene technology and fine-grained decision tree. In this way, when a trustworthy third party is introduced, the security and reliability of data sharing can be guaranteed. To provide data security and efficient retrieval, we also combine active user with active system. Results: Experimental results show that the proposed model can ensure data security in cloud storage services platform as well as enhance the operational performance of data sharing. Conclusion: The proposed security sharing mechanism works well in an actual cloud storage environment.

To meet password selection criteria of a server, a user occasionally needs to provide multiple choices of password candidates to an on-line password meter, but such user-chosen candidates tend to be derived from the user’s previous passwords—the meter may have a high chance to acquire information about a user’s passwords employed for various purposes. A third party password metering service may worsen this threat. In this paper, we first explore a new on-line password meter concept that does not necessitate the exposure of user’s passwords for evaluating user-chosen password candidates in the server side. Our basic idea is straightforward; to adapt fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) schemes to build such a system but its performance achievement is greatly challenging. Optimization techniques are necessary for performance achievement in practice. We employ various performance enhancement techniques and implement the NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) metering method as seminal work in this field. Our experiment results demonstrate that the running time of the proposed meter is around 60 s in a conventional desktop server, expecting better performance in high-end hardware, with an FHE scheme in HElib library where parameters support at least 80-bit security. We believe the proposed method can be further explored and used for a password metering in case that password secrecy is very important—the user’s password candidates should not be exposed to the meter and also an internal mechanism of password metering should not be disclosed to users and any other third parties.


The most data intensive industry today is the healthcare system. The advancement in technology has revolutionized the traditional healthcare practices and led to enhanced E-Healthcare System. Modern healthcare systems generate voluminous amount of digital health data. These E-Health data are shared between patients and among groups of physicians and medical technicians for processing. Due to the demand for continuous availability and handling of these massive E-Health data, mostly these data are outsourced to cloud storage. Being cloud-based computing, the sensitive patient data is stored in a third-party server where data analytics are performed, hence more concern about security raises. This paper proposes a secure analytics system which preserves the privacy of patients’ data. In this system, before outsourcing, the data are encrypted using Paillier homomorphic encryption which allows computations to be performed over encrypted dataset. Then Decision Tree Machine Learning algorithm is used over this encrypted dataset to build the classifier model. This encrypted model is outsourced to cloud server and the predictions about patient’s health status is displayed to the user on request. In this system nowhere the data is decrypted throughout the process which ensures the privacy of patients’ sensitive data.

<p>Cloud based service provider are at its top of its services for various applications, as their services are very much reachable from anywhere anytime in current days. It is responsibility of the company that the Cloud storage is owned and maintained by themselves keeping the data available and accessible, and the physical environment protected and running. Could storage provider seem to be uncertain of confidentiality in many cases, as we need to limit ourselves on trust to a third party. Keeping our sensitive data ready to access any time anywhere with preventing any information leakage is a challenging task. Cryptography in this scenario plays an important role, providing security for information to protect valuable information resources on intranets, Internet and the cloud. In addition, Homomorphic cryptosystem is a form of Cryptography where some specific computation can be performed over the cipher text producing a resultant cipher text which, when decrypted, equals the result of operations carry out on the plaintext. With help of this unique property of homomorphism cryptography we proposed a system to keep sensitive information in encrypted form in the cloud storage/service provider and used those data as whenever we require. The scheme proposed here is designed for a secure online voting system on Android platform and voted information is encrypted and stored those in the cloud.</p>

Most banks in our time still use the common traditional systems of high cost and relatively slow, we are now in the era of speed and technology, and these systems do not keep pace with our current age, so saving cost and time will be considered a fantastic thing for banks. The way to that is to implement cloud computing strategies with Considering data security and protection when it comes to using the cloud. The best solution to protect data security on the cloud is fully homomorphic encryption systems. The time it takes to encrypt and decrypt data is one of the main barriers it faces. Our current research provides a new algorithm for a publicly-keyed encryption system to keep bank data from tampering and theft when stored on the cloud computing platform, and our new system achieves fully Homomorphic Encryption, which allows mathematical operations to be performed on the encrypted text without the need for the original text. The security of the new system depends on the issue of analyzing huge integers, which reach 2048 bits, to their prime factors, which are considered almost impossible or unsolvable. A banking application has also been created that encrypts the data and then stores it on the cloud. The application allows the user to create accounts and deposits, transfer and withdraw funds, and everything related to banking matters.

Abstract We describe a practical fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) scheme based on homomorphisms between rings and show that it enables very efficient computation on encrypted data. Our encryption though is private-key; public information is only used to operate on encrypted data without decrypting it. Still, we show that our method allows for a third party search on encrypted data.
