Garbled circuit (GC) is one of the few promising protocols to realize general-purpose secure computation. The target computation is represented by a Boolean circuit that is subsequently transformed into a network of encrypted tables for execution. Th...
The secure computation of symmetric encryption schemes using Yao’s garbled circuits, such as AES, allows two parties, where one holds a plaintext block m and the other holds a key k, to compute Enc(k,m) without leaking m and k to one another. D...
Cloud computing systems enable clients to rent and share computing resources of third party platforms, and have gained widespread use in recent years. Numerous varieties of mobile, small-scale devices such as smartphones, red e-health devices, etc.,...
With the rapid development of cloud servers, storing data on cloud servers has become a popular option. However, cloud servers are centralized. Storing data on centralized cloud servers may involve some risks. For example, the data access pattern may...
As the demand for expansive back-end systems in online applications continues to grow, novel frameworks are necessitated to address the escalating operational demands, energy consumption, and associated costs. Traditional Client–Server models,...
Wireless sensor networks comprise many resource-constrained nodes that must protect both local readings and routing metadata. The sensors collect data from the environment or from the individual to whom they are attached and transmit it to the neares...
The universal blind quantum computation protocol (UBQC) enables an almost classical client to delegate a quantum computation to an untrusted quantum server (in the form of a garbled quantum circuit) while the security for the client is unconditional....
Deep learning is widely utilized to acquire predictive models for mobile crowdsensing systems (MCSs). These models significantly improve the availability and performance of MCSs in real-world scenarios. However, training these models requires substan...
Online ride-hailing (ORH) services allow people to enjoy on-demand transportation services through their mobile devices in a short responding time. Despite the great convenience, users need to submit their location information to the ORH service prov...
