Abstract. Analysis of privacy-sensitive data in a multi-party environment often assumes that the parties are well-behaved and they abide by the protocols. Parties compute whatever is needed, communicate correctly following the rules, and do not collude with other parties for exposing third party's sensitive data. This paper argues that most of these assumptions fall apart in real-life applications of privacy-preserving distributed data mining (PPDM). This paper offers a more realistic formulation of the PPDM problem as a multi-party game where each party tries to maximize its own objectives. It develops a game-theoretic framework to analyze the behavior of each party in such games and presents detailed analysis of the well known secure sum computation as an example.
In this paper we present a framework for self-formation of interests-based Peer-to-Peer communities using client-side web browsing history. We propose an order statistics-based algorithm to build communities with hierarchical structures. We also carefully consider the privacy concerns of the peer and adopt cryptographic protocols to measure similarity between peers without disclosing their personal profiles. We have evaluated our algorithm using a distributed data mining toolkit. The experimental results show that our framework could efficiently build interests-based communities.
Quantum dot cellular automaton (QCA) is an emerging technology in the field of nanotechnology. Reversible logic is emerging as a promising computing paradigm with applications in low-power quantum computing and QCA in the field of very large scale integration (VLSI) design. In this paper, we worked on conservative logic gate (CLG) and reversible logic gate (RLG). We examined that RLG and CLG are two classes of logic family intersecting each other. The intersection of RLG and CLG is parity preserving reversible (PPR) or conservative reversible logic gate (CRLG). We proposed in this paper, three algorithms to find different k × k RLG as well as CLG. Here, we demonstrate only the most promising two proposed gates of different categories. We compared the results with that of the previous Fredkin gate. The result shows that logic synthesis using above two gates will be a promising step towards the low-power QCA design era. We have shown a parity preserving approach to design all possible CLG. We also discuss a coupled Majority–minority-Voter (MmV) in a single nanostructure, dual outputs are driven simultaneously. This MmV gate is used for implementing n variables symmetric functions, testing the conservative gates as we explained that parity must be preserved if Majority and Minority output are same as input as well as output of CLG.
