Security analysis of authentication protocols for next-generation mobile and CE cloud services

MUSE: An Efficient and Accurate Verifiable Privacy-Preserving Multikeyword Text Search over Encrypted Cloud Data

“…We all know that a binary tree, whose height is ℎ, has at most 2 ℎ − 1 nodes and the 0-degree nodes (which are leaf nodes) are 1 more than the 2-degree nodes (which are internal nodes having both left and right child nodes). Hence, we can get two observations: (1) has at most 2 ⌈log 2 ⌉ − 1 nodes.…”

“…However, DOs cannot directly control their data placed in remote cloud servers, which may cause concerns about their outsourced data being illegally acquired or abused by the cloud service providers (CSPs), especially for the privacy-sensitive data, such as medical records, government documents, and emails. Although many CSPs claim that their cloud services have several security countermeasures, such as access control, firewall and intrusion detection, doubts about the security, and privacy of outsourced data that are still the main obstructions to the wider development of cloud computing [1].…”

Biometrics and Consumer Electronics: A Brave New World or the Road to Dystopia? [Soapbox]

“…Here, the bottom region of the display is modified to sense latent fingerprints so that the swiping operation captures the finger biometric data that are used to validate the user. a simple, yet secure and robust, authentication can be achieved using a trusted third party (TTP) architecture combined with zero knowledge proof (ZKP) techniques [12]. Thus, the extracted biometric feature(s) are protected by ZKP, and the transactions are verified via wellknown TTP techniques.…”

Review on Compute Augmentation Techniques in Mobile Cloud Computing

“…Grzonkowski et al, [45] proposed an enhanced authentication scheme using Zero Knowledge Proof technique is presented in their papers to protect from phishing attack and to protect the user's password to the visiting websites. It also ensures that the users are not redirected to another web page after login to the corresponding one.…”
