AbstractThe security issue is becoming more and more prominent since user’s private information being outsourced to the somewhat untrustworthy cloud. Encrypting the information before uploading them to the cloud is one of ultimate solutions. Secure searchable encryption schemes and secure ranking schemes have been proposed to help retrieving the most relevant documents over the cloud. However the present methods are encumbered by the huge computing and communicating occupation of the cipher text. In this paper, a fully homomorphic encryption based secure ranked search model over the hybrid cloud is proposed. By introducing hybrid cloud, which typically composed by private cloud and public cloud, the high cost of computing and communicating of the cipher text is transferred to the trustworthy private cloud, in which the decrypting are performed. The client does not need to perform any heavy computations, thence making the secure ranking practical from the client’s point of view.

The major issues and challenges in blockchain over internet of things are security, privacy, and usability. Confidentiality, authentication, and control are the challenges faced in security issue. Hence, this chapter will discuss the challenges and opportunities from the prospective of security and privacy of data in blockchain (with respect to security and privacy community point of view). Furthermore, the authors will provide some future trends that blockchain technology may adapt in the near future (in brief).

Fully homomorphic encryption schemes available are not efficient enough to be practical, and a number of real-world applications require only that a homomorphic encryption scheme is somewhat homomorphic, even additively homomorphic and has much larger message space for efficiency. An additively homomorphic encryption scheme based heavily on Smart-Vercauteren encryption scheme (SV10 scheme, PKC 2010) is put forward, where both schemes each work with two ideals I and J. As a contribution of independent interest, a two-element representation of the ideal I is given and proven by factoring prime numbers in a number field. This two-element representation serves as the public key. The authors' scheme allows working over much larger message space than that of SV10 scheme by selecting the ideal I with larger decryption radius to generate public/private key pair, instead of choosing the ideal J as done in the SV10 scheme. The correctness and security of the scheme are shown, followed by setting parameters and computational results. The results indicate that this construction has much larger message space than SV10 scheme.

Fully homomorphic encryption schemes (FHE) are a type of encryption algorithm dedicated to data security in cloud computing. It allows for performing computations over ciphertext. In addition to this characteristic, a verifiable FHE scheme has the capacity to allow an end user to verify the correctness of the computations done by a cloud server on his encrypted data. Since FHE schemes are known to be greedy in term of processing consumption and slow in terms of runtime execution, it is very useful to look for improvement techniques and tools to improve FHE performance. Parallelizing computations is among the best tools one can use for FHE improvement. Batching is a kind of parallelization of computations when applied to an FHE scheme, it gives it the capacity of encrypting and homomorphically processing a vector of plaintexts as a single ciphertext. This is used in the context of cloud computing to perform a known function on several ciphertexts for multiple clients at the same time. The advantage here is in optimizing resources on the cloud side and improving the quality of services provided by the cloud computing. In this article, the authors will present a detailed survey of different FHE improvement techniques in the literature and apply the batching technique to a promising verifiable FHE (VFHE) recently presented by the authors at the WINCOM17 conference.
