Distributed Predictive Analytics (DPA) refers to constructing predictive models based on data distributed across nodes. DPA reduces the need for data centralization, thus, alleviating concerns about data privacy, decreasing the load on central ...

Modern radio access networks (RANs) are both highly complex and potentially vulnerable to unauthorized security setting changes. A RAN is studied in a proof-of-concept experiment to demonstrate that an unauthorized network state is detectable at ...

With the wide application of big data technology, a large number of data geographically stored in data centers across various regions are generated everyday, waiting to be analyzed by big data tasks. Examples of such data analysis tasks include ...

Graph is an important structure for presenting the data with internal connections. Subgraph isomorphism query is one of the most important operations in graph database. Unfortunately, the calculation of subgraph isomorphism query is ...

The advent of big data analytics and cloud computing technologies has resulted in wide-spread research on the data placement problem. Since data-intensive services require access to multiple datasets within each transaction, ...

• Scalable and unified framework for data placement of data-intensive services.
• ...

In a cloud storage service, public auditing mechanisms allow a third party to verify integrity of the outsourced data on behalf of data users without the need to retrieve data from the cloud server. Recently, Shen et al. proposed a new ...

Bloom Filter is a data structure for membership filtering that is deployed in various domains to boost up the lookup performance and to lower the memory consumption. Bloom Filter has gained a massive popularity nowadays, and thus, it is deployed ...

In recent years, researchers have proposed some privacy-preserving public auditing schemes to remotely check the integrity of the outsourced data in cloud storage based on the homomorphic authenticators, random blocks sampling and ...

Outsourcing computing allows users with resource-constrained devices to outsource their complex computation workloads to cloud servers, which is more economical for cloud customers. However, since users lose direct control of the computation task,...

In an outsourced database scheme, the data owner delegates the data management tasks to a remote service provider who is supposed to answer owner's queries on the database. The essential requirements are ensuring the data integrity and ...

Attribute-based encryption (ABE) is one of critical primitives for the application of fine-grained access control. To reduce the trust assumption on the attribute authority and in the meanwhile enhancing the privacy of users and the security of the ...

This is the second paper of the series of papers dealing with access control problems in cloud computing by adopting quantum techniques. In this paper we study the application of quantum encryption and quantum key distribution in the access control ...

This paper presents a comprehensive survey of existing authentication and privacy-preserving schemes for 4G and 5G cellular networks. We start by providing an overview of existing surveys that deal with 4G and 5G cellular networks. Then, we give a ...

The miniaturization of wireless sensors and medical devices have empowered the extension of Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs) and E-Health care systems. However, in WBANs, wireless communications are exposed to a variety of passive and active security ...

This paper analyzes the secure access delegation problem, which occurs naturally in the cloud, and postulate that Proxy Re-Encryption is a feasible cryptographic solution, both from the functional and efficiency perspectives. Proxy re-encryption is a ...

A Telecare Medical Information System (TMIS) enables doctors and physicians at a medical center to provide remote care via Internet to the registered patients at any place. Considering the privacy of the patients, medical data, secure and authenticated ...

Cloud computing has greatly facilitated large-scale data outsourcing due to its cost efficiency, scalability and many other advantages. Subsequent privacy risks force data owners to encrypt sensitive data, hence making the outsourced data no longer ...

Traditional database systems result in high energy consumption and low energy efficiency due to the lack of consideration of energy issues and environmental adaptation in the design process. In this study, we report our recent efforts on this issue, ...

A seamless and secure handover is always one of the important design goals of the cellular networks. The handover scheme of 4G Long Term Evolution (LTE) wireless networks is complex due to the presence of two possible different types of base stations. ...

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) pose several problems in terms of scalability and energy consumption. Many of them have been treated in the literature by means of optimization techniques. Depending on the optimization goal and constraints, a great number ...
