This paper proposes a privacy-preserving database encryption scheme that provides access pattern hiding against a service provider. The proposed scheme uses a session key to permute indices of database records each time they are accessed. The proposed scheme can achieve access pattern hiding in situations in which an adversary cannot access the inside of the database directly, by separating the entity with an index table and data table and permuting both the index and position where the data are stored. Moreover, it is very efficient since only O(1) server computation and communication cost are required in terms of the number of the data stored. It can be applied to cloud computing, where the intermediate entities such as cloud computing service provider can violate the privacy of users or patients.

Realm은 모바일 기기에서 주로 사용되는 SQLite를 대체하기 위해 개발된 오픈 소스 데이터베이스이다. 데이터 베이스에 저장되는 데이터는 사용자의 행위를 파악하고 모바일 기기의 동작 여부를 확인하는 데 도움이 될 수 있어 모바일 기기를 대상으로 하는 디지털 포렌식 분석 과정에서 반드시 확인되어야 한다. 뿐만 아니라, 사용자가 의도적으로 데이터베이스에 저장된 데이터 삭제와 같은 안티 포렌식 기법을 사용할 수 있으므로 데이터베이스에서 삭제된 레코드를 복구하는 방법에 대한 연구가 필요하다. 본 논문은 Realm 데이터베이스 파일의 구조와 레코드의 저장 및 삭제 과정을 분석한 결과를 바탕으로 삭제된 후 덮어 쓰여지지 않은 레코드의 복구 기법을 제시하였다.

In this paper, we introduce a new Tabu method to get K-anonymity character in database information privacy protection. We use the conception of lattice to form the solution space for K-anonymity Character and search the solution area in this solution space to achieve the best or best approach modification solution for the information in the database. We then compared the Tabu method with other traditional heuristic method and our method show a better solution in most of the cases.

With the advent of database-as-a-service (DAAS) and cloud computing, more and more data owners are motivated to outsource their data to cloud database in consideration of convenience and cost. However, it has become a challenging work to provide security to database as service model in cloud computing, because adversaries may try to gain access to sensitive data, and curious or malicious administrators may capture and leak data. In order to realize privacy preservation, sensitive data should be encrypted before outsourcing. In this paper, we present a secure and practical system over encrypted cloud data, called QSDB (queryable and secure database), which simultaneously supports SQL query operations. The proposed system can store and process the floating point numbers without compromising the security of data. To balance tradeoff between data privacy protection and query processing efficiency, QSDB utilizes three different encryption models to encrypt data. Our strategy is to process as much queries as possible at the cloud server. Encryption of queries and decryption of encrypted queries results are performed at client. Experiments on the real-world data sets were conducted to demonstrate the efficiency and practicality of the proposed system.

In recent years, data privacy has become increasingly important. The goal of network cryptography is to protect data while it is being transmitted over the internet or a network. Social media and smartphone apps collect a lot of personal data which if exposed, might be damaging to privacy. As a result, sensitive data is exposed and data is shared without the data owner's consent. Personal Information is one of the concerns in data privacy. Protecting user data and sensitive information is the first step to keeping user data private. Many applications user data can be found on other websites. In this paper, we discuss the issue of privacy and suggest a mechanism for keeping user data hidden in other applications.

RFID(Radion Frequency Identification)는 바코드를 대체할 차세대 기술이다. RFID는 무선 주파수를 사용하여 RFID 태그 내부에 있는 ID를 읽어 물체를 식별할 수 있다. 하지만 RFID 태그는 어떤 리더의 요청에도 자신의 고유 ID를 무선 통신으로 응답하기 때문에 도청이나 불법 리더로부터 보안이나 프라이버시에 대한 공격에 취약하다. RFID 인증 프로토콜은 보안과 프라이버시 문제를 해결하기 위해 활발히 연구되고 있으며 태그 검색에도 사용되고 있다. 최근에는 RFID 시스템에서 태그의 수가 증가하고 데이터 수집 비용도 늘어나면서 효과적인 태그 검색에 대한 비중이 더 많아졌다. 본 논문에서는 보안과 프라이버시 보호를 위한 필요조건을 보장하는 Miyako Ohkubo의 hash-chain 메커니즘에서 데이터베이스 연산량이 많은 문제점을 Tag-Grouping을 통해 보완한 효율적인 검색 방법을 제안한다. 실험 결과 데이터베이스에서 10만개의 레코드 수를 기준으로 접근비율이 5이상인 태그 그룹의 우선 검색시 약 30%의 검색시간이 감소 하였다.

Digital image processing and retrieving have increasingly become very popular on the Internet and getting more attention from various multimedia fields. That results in additional privacy requirements placed on efficient image matching techniques in various applications. Hence, several searching methods have been developed when confidential images are used in image matching between pairs of security agencies, most of these search methods either limited by its cost or precision. This study proposes a secure and efficient method that preserves image privacy and confidentially between two communicating parties. To retrieve an image, feature vector is extracted from the given query image, and then the similarities with the stored database images features vector are calculated to retrieve the matched images based on an indexing scheme and matching strategy. We used a secure content-based image retrieval features detector algorithm called Speeded-Up Robust Features (SURF) algorithm over public cloud to extract the features and the Honey Encryption algorithm. The purpose of using the encrypted images database is to provide an accurate searching through encrypted documents without needing decryption. Progress in this area helps protect the privacy of sensitive data stored on the cloud. The experimental results (conducted on a well-known image-set) show that the performance of the proposed methodology achieved a noticeable enhancement level in terms of precision, recall, F-Measure, and execution time.

In this paper, we introduce a new kind of expressions for privacy protection techniques in database, such as K-anonymity L-diversity and t-closeness. With such kind of expressions, we provide a new way to solve the privacy protection problems, such as Linear programming, Non-linear programming, Integer programming and so on. Also most of the heuristic techniques are also efficient to be adopted under the expressions given.

위치 기반 서비스의 발전으로 인해, 일상에서 생성되는 공간 데이터의 양이 급격히 증가하고 있다. 이에 따라, 데이터 소유자의 공간 데이터베이스 관리 비용 절감을 위한 공간 데이터베이스 아웃소싱이 활발히 진행되고 있다. 데이터베이스 아웃소싱 시 가장 중요한 고려사항은 프라이버시 요구사항을 충족하고 질의 결과 무결성을 보장하는 것이다. 그러나 대부분의 데이터베이스 변환 기법은 데이터 프라이버시 보호와 질의 결과 무결성을 동시에 보장하지 못한다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해, 본 논문에서는 층밀림 변환, 회전 변환, 시프팅 변환을 활용한 공간 데이터 변환 기법을 제안한다. 또한, 데이터베이스 변환기법의 데이터 프라이버시 보호 정도를 측정하기 위한 공격 모델을 소개한다. 마지막으로, 성능 분석을 통해 제안하는 기법이 기존 기법에 비해 다양한 공격 모델로부터 높은 수준의 데이터 프라이버시 보호를 수행하며, 동시에 질의 결과 무결성을 보장함을 검증한다.

Health information systems (HIS) are facing security challenges on data privacy and confidentiality. These challenges are based on centralized system architecture creating a target for malicious attacks. Blockchain technology has emerged as a trending technology with the potential to improve data security. Despite the effectiveness of this technology, still HIS are suffering from a lack of data privacy and confidentiality. This paper presents a blockchain-based data storage security architecture integrated with an e-Health care system to improve its security. The study employed a qualitative research method where data were collected using interviews and document analysis. Execute-order-validate Fabric's storage security architecture was implemented through private data collection, which is the combination of the actual private data stored in a private state, and a hash of that private data to guarantee data privacy. The key findings of this research show that data privacy and confidentiality are attained through a private data policy. Network peers are decentralized with blockchain only for hash storage to avoid storage challenges. Cost-effectiveness is achieved through data storage within a database of a Hyperledger Fabric. The overall performance of Fabric is higher than Ethereum. Ethereum's low performance is due to its execute-validate architecture which has high computation power with transaction inconsistencies. E-Health care system administrators should be trained and engaged with blockchain architectural designs for health data storage security. Health policymakers should be aware of blockchain technology and make use of the findings. The scientific contribution of this study is based on; cost-effectiveness of secured data storage, the use of hashes of network data stored in each node, and low energy consumption of Fabric leading to high performance.
