    Abstract In a cloud environment, outsourced graph data is widely used in companies, enterprises, medical institutions, and so on. Data owners and users can save costs and improve efficiency by storing large amounts of graph data on cloud servers. Servers on cloud platforms usually have some subjective or objective attacks, which make the outsourced graph data in an insecure state. The issue of privacy data protection has become an important obstacle to data sharing and usage. How to query outsourcing graph data safely and effectively has become the focus of research. Adjacency query is a basic and frequently used operation in… More >

    Privacy-Preserving Federated Deep Learning Diagnostic Method for Multi-Stage Diseases

    Jinbo Yang1, Hai Huang1, Lailai Yin2, Jiaxing Qu3, Wanjuan Xie4,*

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.139, No.3, pp. 3085-3099, 2024, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2023.045417

    Abstract Diagnosing multi-stage diseases typically requires doctors to consider multiple data sources, including clinical symptoms, physical signs, biochemical test results, imaging findings, pathological examination data, and even genetic data. When applying machine learning modeling to predict and diagnose multi-stage diseases, several challenges need to be addressed. Firstly, the model needs to handle multimodal data, as the data used by doctors for diagnosis includes image data, natural language data, and structured data. Secondly, privacy of patients’ data needs to be protected, as these data contain the most sensitive and private information. Lastly, considering the practicality of the model, the computational requirements should… More >

    A Survey on Blockchain-Based Federated Learning: Categorization, Application and Analysis

    Yuming Tang1,#, Yitian Zhang2,#, Tao Niu1, Zhen Li2,3,*, Zijian Zhang1,3, Huaping Chen4, Long Zhang4

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.139, No.3, pp. 2451-2477, 2024, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2024.030084

    Abstract Federated Learning (FL), as an emergent paradigm in privacy-preserving machine learning, has garnered significant interest from scholars and engineers across both academic and industrial spheres. Despite its innovative approach to model training across distributed networks, FL has its vulnerabilities; the centralized server-client architecture introduces risks of single-point failures. Moreover, the integrity of the global model—a cornerstone of FL—is susceptible to compromise through poisoning attacks by malicious actors. Such attacks and the potential for privacy leakage via inference starkly undermine FL’s foundational privacy and security goals. For these reasons, some participants unwilling use their private data to train a model, which… More >

    Multi-Robot Privacy-Preserving Algorithms Based on Federated Learning: A Review

    Jiansheng Peng1,2,*, Jinsong Guo1, Fengbo Bao1, Chengjun Yang2, Yong Xu2, Yong Qin2

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.77, No.3, pp. 2971-2994, 2023, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2023.041897

    Abstract The robotics industry has seen rapid development in recent years due to the Corona Virus Disease 2019. With the development of sensors and smart devices, factories and enterprises have accumulated a large amount of data in their daily production, which creates extremely favorable conditions for robots to perform machine learning. However, in recent years, people’s awareness of data privacy has been increasing, leading to the inability to circulate data between different enterprises, resulting in the emergence of data silos. The emergence of federated learning provides a feasible solution to this problem, and the combination of federated learning and multi-robot systems… More >

    A Blockchain-Assisted Distributed Edge Intelligence for Privacy-Preserving Vehicular Networks

    Muhammad Firdaus1, Harashta Tatimma Larasati2, Kyung-Hyune Rhee3,*

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.76, No.3, pp. 2959-2978, 2023, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2023.039487

    Abstract The enormous volume of heterogeneous data from various smart device-based applications has growingly increased a deeply interlaced cyber-physical system. In order to deliver smart cloud services that require low latency with strong computational processing capabilities, the Edge Intelligence System (EIS) idea is now being employed, which takes advantage of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Edge Computing Technology (ECT). Thus, EIS presents a potential approach to enforcing future Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), particularly within a context of a Vehicular Network (VNets). However, the current EIS framework meets some issues and is conceivably vulnerable to multiple adversarial attacks because the central aggregator server… More >

    A New Privacy-Preserving Data Publishing Algorithm Utilizing Connectivity-Based Outlier Factor and Mondrian Techniques

    Burak Cem Kara1,2,*, Can Eyüpoğlu1

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.76, No.2, pp. 1515-1535, 2023, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2023.040274

    Abstract Developing a privacy-preserving data publishing algorithm that stops individuals from disclosing their identities while not ignoring data utility remains an important goal to achieve. Because finding the trade-off between data privacy and data utility is an NP-hard problem and also a current research area. When existing approaches are investigated, one of the most significant difficulties discovered is the presence of outlier data in the datasets. Outlier data has a negative impact on data utility. Furthermore, k-anonymity algorithms, which are commonly used in the literature, do not provide adequate protection against outlier data. In this study, a new data anonymization algorithm… More >

    Chen Wang1, Jian Xu1,*, Jiarun Li1, Yan Dong1, Nitin Naik2

    Intelligent Automation & Soft Computing, Vol.37, No.2, pp. 1421-1436, 2023, DOI:10.32604/iasc.2023.034123

    Abstract Outsourcing the k-Nearest Neighbor (kNN) classifier to the cloud is useful, yet it will lead to serious privacy leakage due to sensitive outsourced data and models. In this paper, we design, implement and evaluate a new system employing an outsourced privacy-preserving kNN Classifier Model based on Multi-Key Homomorphic Encryption (kNNCM-MKHE). We firstly propose a security protocol based on Multi-key Brakerski-Gentry-Vaikuntanathan (BGV) for collaborative evaluation of the kNN classifier provided by multiple model owners. Analyze the operations of kNN and extract basic operations, such as addition, multiplication, and comparison. It supports the computation of encrypted data with different public keys. At… More >
