Abstract An identity-based proxy re-encryption scheme (IB-PRE) allows a semi-trusted proxy to convert an encryption under one identity to another without revealing the underlying message. Due to the fact that the proxy was semi-trusted, it should place as little trust as necessary to allow it to perform the translations. In some applications such as distributed file system, it demands the adversary cannot identify the sender and recipient’s identities. However, none of the exiting IB-PRE schemes satisfy this requirement. In this work, we first define the security model of key-private IB-PRE. Finally, we propose the first key-private IB-PRE scheme. Our scheme is… More >

Abstract With the massive growth of images data and the rise of cloud computing that can provide cheap storage space and convenient access, more and more users store data in cloud server. However, how to quickly query the expected data with privacy-preserving is still a challenging in the encryption image data retrieval. Towards this goal, this paper proposes a ciphertext image retrieval method based on SimHash in cloud computing. Firstly, we extract local feature of images, and then cluster the features by K-means. Based on it, the visual word codebook is introduced to represent feature information of images, which hashes the… More >

Abstract Image encryption (IE) is a very useful and popular technology to protect the privacy of users. Most algorithms usually encrypt the original image into an image similar to texture or noise, but texture and noise are an obvious visual indication that the image has been encrypted, which is more likely to cause the attacks of enemy. To overcome this shortcoming, many image encryption systems, which convert the original image into a carrier image with visual significance have been proposed. However, the generated cryptographic image still has texture features. In line with the idea of improving the visual quality of the… More >

Abstract This paper proposes a strategy for machine learning in the ciphertext domain. The data to be trained in the linear regression equation is encrypted by SHE homomorphic encryption, and then trained in the ciphertext domain. At the same time, it is guaranteed that the error of the training results between the ciphertext domain and the plaintext domain is in a controllable range. After the training, the ciphertext can be decrypted and restored to the original plaintext training data. More >

Abstract Transmission pipelines are vulnerable to various accidents and acts of vandalism. Therefore, a reliable monitoring system is needed to secure the transmission pipelines. A wireless sensor network is a wireless network consisting of distributed devices distributed at various distances, which monitors the physical and environmental conditions using sensors. Wireless sensor networks have many uses, including the built-in sensor on the outside of the pipeline or installed to support bridge structures, robotics, healthcare, environmental monitoring, etc. Wireless Sensor networks could be used to monitor the temperature, pressure, leak detection and sabotage of transmission lines. Wireless sensor networks are vulnerable to various… More >

Abstract Pipeline defect detection systems collect the videos from cameras of pipeline robots, however the systems always analyzed these videos by offline systems or humans to detect the defects of potential security threats. The existing systems tend to reach the limit in terms of data access anywhere, access security and video processing on cloud. There is in need of studying on a pipeline defect detection cloud system for automatic pipeline inspection. In this paper, we deploy the framework of a cloud based pipeline defect detection system, including the user management module, pipeline robot control module, system service module, and defect detection… More >

Abstract Currently, many biometric systems maintain the user’s biometrics and templates in plaintext format, which brings great privacy risk to uses’ biometric information. Biometrics are unique and almost unchangeable, which means it is a great concern for users on whether their biometric information would be leaked. To address this issue, this paper proposes a confidential comparison algorithm for iris feature vectors with masks, and develops a privacy-preserving iris verification scheme based on the El Gamal encryption scheme. In our scheme, the multiplicative homomorphism of encrypted features is used to compare of iris features and their mask information. Also, this paper improves… More >

Abstract The theory of compressed sensing (CS) has been proposed to reduce the processing time and accelerate the scanning process. In this paper, the image recovery task is considered to outsource to the cloud server for its abundant computing and storage resources. However, the cloud server is untrusted then may pose a considerable amount of concern for potential privacy leakage. How to protect data privacy and simultaneously maintain management of the image remains challenging. Motivated by the above challenge, we propose an image encryption algorithm based on chaotic system, CS and image saliency. In our scheme, we outsource the image CS… More >

Abstract Various chaos-based image encryption schemes have been proposed in last few years. The proposed image encryption method uses chaotic map. The encryption is done by using 256 bit long external secret key. The initial condition for the chaotic mapping is evaluated by the use of external secret key along with the mapping function. Besides that, the proposed method is made more robust by applying multiple operations to the pixels of the image depending on the outcome of the calculation of the logistic map. Moreover, block shuffling of the image and modifying the secret key after encryption of each row is… More >
