Trial lecture
Title: "Attribute Based Access Control Systems"
Main research findings
With the popularity of cloud services, privacy-preserving computation over outsourced data is increasingly becoming important. One example is the outsourced location-based service where the location service provider outsources its data to a cloud service provider and provides location-based services to clients through offered cloud services. Another example is the outsourced genomic data-driven service. Hospitals outsource their patients’ data to a cloud service provider and serve patients, physicians, and researchers with the outsourced data. In both examples, the cloud service provider stores and processes the outsourced data. To prevent the cloud service provider from learning the outsourced data, we propose a privacy-preserving framework for outsourcing location-based service and a privacy-preserving framework for outsourcing genomic data-driven service. Both proposed frameworks allow the cloud service provider to store the outsourced data and deal with the service requests without violating data privacy. We validate both frameworks through formal analysis and experiments over the real dataset. The findings of this dissertation have been published in a reputed journal.
