Title: Secure Access to Big Data with Confidentiality and Integrity
Assurance

Speaker: Haibo Hu, Department of Computer Science, Hong Kong Baptist
University

Host: Kenny Q. Zhu

Time: 4 PM, Friday, July 3, 2015

Venue: SEIEE-03-414

 

Abstract:

With the prosperity of cloud computing and internet of things, huge 

amount of heterogeneous data have spawned new businesses which crave for 

integrating, querying, and analyzing big data. Among them, however, a 

lot of data are born private and sensitive, such as financial 

transactions, medical records, web/chat logs, and location traces. It is 

challenging to access them for analytical tasks while still preserving 

certain degree of confidentiality and integrity --- traditional 

cryptography may fail us on this scale of volume, velocity, and 

veracity. In this talk, I will discuss recent advances in secure access 

to these sensitive data from an information system's perspective. In 

particular, I will give several show cases on how cryptographic tools 

such as conditional oblivious transfer and homomorphic encryption are 

reinforced with database techniques such as indexing, pruning, and 

combinatorial optimization. These works can be put to practical use in 

financial engineering, health care, social network, and location-based 

services.
