Database outsourcing has been popular according to the development of cloud computing. Databases need to be encrypted before being outsourced to the cloud so that they can be protected from adversaries. However, the existing <em>k</em>NN classification scheme over encrypted databases in the cloud suffers from high computation overhead. So we proposed a secure and efficient kNN classification algorithm using encrypted index search and Yao’s garbled circuit over encrypted databases. Our algorithm can preserve data privacy, query privacy, and data access pattern. We show that our algorithm achieves about 17 times better performance on classification time than the existing scheme, while preserving high security level.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
