Cognitive security paradigm for cloud computing applications

Abstract

Summary This article presents new paradigms of confidential data protection. New classes of paradigms are dedicated to enhancing the already‐known cryptographic solutions belonging to the group of data sharing schemes. Data sharing schemes are dedicated to executing data protection tasks by means of splitting data into parts (called shadows) and distributing those shadows among a group of secret trustees. This process is enriched by linguistic and biometric solutions to guarantee protection of the shared data by means of biometric labeling or by means of user verification with the application of meaning interpretation of individual secret parts. The novelty in this solution is in the application of cognitive algorithms to describe correctly the shared secret. Cognitive paradigms guarantee an execution of information concealment protocols and their division at various levels of knowledge held by individual protocol participants. The paradigms of cognitive description of the concealed data have been introduced into a new class of data sharing protocols, ie, into the linguistic‐biometric threshold schemes. A special feature of the proposed solution is its universality, which is a possibility to apply the here‐discussed threshold schemes in the processes of data concealment with varying importance. At the same time, this solution can be applied to execute data protection tasks against unauthorized acquisition or disclosure. This paper will present also the possibilities of application of the paradigms presented here to conceal data dedicated to the data management processes.

Enhancing COVID-19 tracking apps with human activity recognition using a deep convolutional neural network and HAR-images

“…Nevertheless, there are two types of apps, that is apps that make use of centralized or decentralized databases. In both cases, when individual A meets B, their smartphones exchange encrypted id-codes [ 42 ]. If A becomes positive, the status of his app is updated.…”

New protocols of cognitive data management and sharing in cloud computing

“…7,8,[10][11][12][13][14] In this group of protocols, apart from the classic information splitting algorithms, there are also new classes of threshold schemes, including both linguistic and biometric threshold schemes. 15 A detailed description of these threshold schemes can be found in other works. [3][4][5][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17] In this work, we shall discuss new classes of threshold schemes based on cognitive processes of concealed data description.…”
