We introduce a novel notion of distributed functional signature. In such a signature scheme, the signing key for function f will be split into n shares sk f i and distributed to different parties. Given a message m and a share sk f i , one can compute locally and obtain a pair signature f i m , σ i . When given all of the signature pairs, everyone can recover the actual value f m and corresponding signature σ . When the number signature pairs are not enough, nobody can recover the signature f m , σ . We formalize the notion of function privacy in this new model which is not possible for the standard functional signature and give a construction from standard functional signature and function secret sharing based on one-way function and learning with error assumption. We then consider the problem of hosting services in multiple untrusted clouds, in which the verifiability and program privacy are considered. The verifiability requires that the returned results from the cloud can be checked. The program privacy requires that the evaluation procedure does not reveal the program for the untrusted cloud. We give a verifiable distributed secure cloud service scheme from distributed functional signature and prove the securities which include untrusted cloud security (program privacy and verifiability) and untrusted client security.

Background: Currently, Cloud Service Provider (CSP) or third party usually proposes principles and methods for cloud security risk evaluation, while cloud users have no choice but accept them. However, since cloud users and cloud service providers have conflicts of interests, cloud users may not trust the results of security evaluation performed by the CSP. Also, different cloud users may have different security risk preferences, which makes it difficult for third party to consider all users' needs during evaluation. In addition, current security evaluation indexes for cloud are too impractical to test (e.g., indexes like interoperability, transparency, portability are not easy to be evaluated). Methods: To solve the above problems, this paper proposes a practical cloud security risk evaluation method of decision-making based on conflicting roles by using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) with Aggregation of Individual priorities (AIP). Results: Not only can our method bring forward a new index system based on risk source for cloud security and corresponding practical testing methods, but also can obtain the evaluation result with the risk preferences of conflicting roles, namely CSP and cloud users, which can lay a foundation for improving mutual trusts between the CSP and cloud users. The experiments show that the method can effectively assess the security risk of cloud platforms and in the case where the number of clouds increased by 100% and 200%, the evaluation time using our methodology increased by only by 12% and 30%. Conclusion: Our method can achieve consistent decision based on conflicting roles, high scalability and practicability for cloud security risk evaluation.

On the elliptic curve cryptosystem proposed a new multi-proxy signature scheme - (t, k, n) threshold blind proxy signature scheme.In new program blind proxy signature and (t,k,n) threshold secret sharing scheme will be combined, and will not over-concentration of the rights of the blind proxy signer .Computation of the program is small, security is high, the achieve efficiency and the utility is better .can prevent a malicious user's forgery attack and have the security properties of proxy signature.

Abstract –Today Security issue is the topmost problem in the cloud computing environment. It leads to serious discomfort to the Governance and end-users. Numerous security solutions and policies are available however practically ineffective in use. Most of the security solutions are centered towards cloud technology and cloud service providers only and no consideration has been given to the Network, accessing, and device securities at the end-user level. The discomfort at the end-user level was left untreated. The security of the various public, private networks, variety of devices used by end-users, accessibility, and capacity of end-users is left untreated. This leads towards the strong need for the possible modification of the security architecture for data security at all levels and secured service delivery. This leads towards the strong need for the possible adaption of modified security measures and provisions, which shall provide secured hosting and service delivery at all levels and reduce the security gap between the cloud service providers and end-users. This paper investigates the study and analyze the security architecture in the Cloud environment of Govt. of India and suggest the modifications in the security architecture as per the changing scenario and to fulfill the future needs for the secured service delivery from central up to the end-user level.

Cloud computing is a promising technology that is expected to transform the healthcare industry. Cloud computing has many benefits like flexibility, cost and energy savings, resource sharing, and fast deployment. In this paper, we study the use of cloud computing in the healthcare industry and different cloud security and privacy challenges. The centralization of data on the cloud raises many security and privacy concerns for individuals and healthcare providers. This centralization of data (1) provides attackers with one-stop honey-pot to steal data and intercept data in-motion and (2) moves data ownership to the cloud service providers; therefore, the individuals and healthcare providers lose control over sensitive data. As a result, security, privacy, efficiency, and scalability concerns are hindering the wide adoption of the cloud technology. In this work, we found that the state-of-the art solutions address only a subset of those concerns. Thus, there is an immediate need for a holistic solution that balances all the contradicting requirements.
